Let’s talk about friendships today. I don’y have a whole group of friends. Just a few good friends, and some close friends. Some know or at least have seen eachother at birthdays or other occasions. And that’s all fine with me. I don’t need a whole bunch of people around me. I know my best mate from kindergarten. Most of my other friends I either met on holiday or while clubbing. Both situations where you are your true self most of the time. Some of these friends I only see once a year, other more often. But they all have one thing in common: we don’t have false expectations. No you were supposed to call me or other discussions like that. I have friendships like that in the past, been there, done that. Other friendships turned out to be a one-way friendship. I stopped those as well, I consider myself to worthy for that.
With colleagues it’s often the same. The moment you work together you are best mates, but the soon either of you switches jobs, the friendship fades away as well. My girlfriend is a real good exception. First we were colleagues, when she switched jobs we stayed friends and saw eachother while clubbing. Years later we went on holiday as good friends, but halfway it turned out to be a bit different which we both had never expected. And now we are together for more than 10 years:)
To all my true friends, you know who you are, love ya!
So what about today’s theme: Make a friend day? We love our friends, and we love our lives, so I really don’t feel an urgent need to make friends. But to stick with the theme I will provide you with a Top10 list of tips how to become friends with me. As my current friends already know I can be really sarcastic, cynical and materialistic. So don’t take this list to serious. Although even in my jokes, there is often a bit of hidden truth…
