When you feel like everyone you've ever known is now too busy to respond to your emails and calls, wait and just have a second thought.
Before now I was up and very active with friends and some family members but here comes the change, sometimes it feels like I could do better but even at the thought of that I can't still help, I was never told that growth comes with a more heavier responsibility that requires so much time and capacity to keep up.
Those I once called best friends are now too busy and are all about building their lives, believe me when I say “hello” comes once in a very long time, I mean all the chit chats and bunch of junk discussion all left for an independence.
Why I'm I not worried? I've come to understand that this season in my life now is the planting season, and it comes with so many untold struggles. This is the time everything reduces, from bundles of friends to three or four friends that I keep in touch with.
However come to think about it, how does it feel that your best friends are really too busy for you, it doesn't feel good to be very truthful, all of a sudden the conversation goes down and everyone is just living their lives, as at the time of typing this post, last night a female friend reached out to me with some good but old questions, last month we didn't communicate in the manner we always do as often, so she wasn't happy about that, me on this side knows things have fallen apart, so she was concerned and wanted to know what's wrong and where I've been, in her words “I miss us”, I knew she wasn't lying but all I could say was I will do better this new month.
My perspective is not about money neither is it about wealth and popularity but it's about growth and responsibilities, although money and success changes the way people relate with their friends but it is a character and not everyone can equally be the same, so all I'm insinuating is that most times our friends goes through a lot that sometimes they can't air it out, so all they do is to tackle the problems and bring them to a stop.
The level of growth and responsibility most times determine how much effort and time we show in friendships and relationships.
