A few days ago, I was told by a friend that I always seemed to be so busy, that I never had time for meet-ups. It's true. Ever since I returned from USA, I haven't even had a proper meet-up with even my dear sec school clique yet. Though I saw Ming once, that's only cos Joanne was flying off to Hongkong to study and we were having a farewell lunch with her. Haven't seen the rest yet. I can't believe it myself.
Guess this is like a wake-up call for me... some of my friends used to be the one who was always initiating the gatherings, and I would be the one to say, no, I can't, I've something on, I'm busy blah blah. They won't do this forever, sometimes they'll get tired, and stop. Then what? I've been taking my friends for granted, thinking they'll always be there.
I had many close friends from secondary school -Madie, Emmeline, Genevieve etc. But somehow, we all went our separate ways, to different JCs, to different classes, and I guess we never really bothered to keep in touch. By and by, we started seeing and talking to each other less, drifting apart until even suggesting a meetup would be strange. And these are friends whom you know you can still connect with, after all this time... it's just that, after the prolonged period of separation, it's just weird and awkward to suddenly want to meet up again.
I really don't want any more of this to happen to any more of my friends! So... as soon as my mid-term on tuesday is over, I'll start arranging meet-ups and give all my friends their due attention.
Love you guys! (:
