More and more I’m realizing how much I’ve let my friendships slide, in favor of solitude. Well, if you can call it that…what with the little man around and all. And a certain someone. So perhaps in favor of seclusion rather than solitude. I realize I don’t make the effort I used to. I never realized just how much free time I had, until it was gone. Sadly I sometimes feel my online relationships are stronger than those in real life. I’ve only stayed connected with those friends who have made a concerted effort equal to, but especially greater than, my own (and you know who you are). I don’t fault those who don’t. We’ve all got busy lives. And it’s too easy to drift apart. I just wish it were easier to reconnect.
