Irony of Friendship

There are friends in my life that I see probably twice a year. Not necessarily because of distance or scheduling, we just don’t get around to hanging out or communicating. Yet, for some reason I still consider them my closest friends. The history we carry is more meaningful than the communication we currently have. I know at some point this will probably get tiring. But right now I see myself being friends with these people for a very long time. If they were to ever ask me for anything, no matter how random it is, I know I’ll do my absolute best to help them out.

I also have friends that I see all the time, and have constant communication with, but it’s all based on convenience. We happen to work together or go to school together, etc. But once that common thread is broken, it’s pretty clear the  friendship will fall apart. It’s a sad reality, however it shows me that it’s the quality of the friendship that matters. I don’t need to talk to you, or hang out with you all the time to know we’ll always be there for each other. It would be great if that’s the case, but it doesn’t have to be.

I should however consider putting more effort into certain people…
