Limitations. Friendships.

Do not read this if you do not like emo shit. You've been warned.

You know how everyone has a limitation? Well, I do too. This blog isn't about me complaining about my life, or about how unfair life is. It's about me, disappointed in certain things.

Friendships. People always say how important friends are, how they should be your strengths and hopes, how they are always behind you no matter what you do. Again, I'm not going to complain about my friends, or to point any fingers at anyone. I'm just voicing out my disappointment.

There's always a perfect scenario somewhere. A perfect situation. Everyone can always tell you how you should face difficult times, how you should overcome challenges. It's always the same piece of advice isn't it? They're almost always the same. But having a really, really good friend will help. It really will. If you have a really good friend who genuinely cares about you, you can trust them completely and you know that you can always depend on them whenever life's giving you shit.

Unfortunately, reality isn't always like this. Not everyone can always have a good friend at all stages of their lives. People can tell you the criteria of a really good friend, but sadly, they are hardly one themselves. Sometimes, in one stage of your life, you had a really good friend/s. You treasured the friendship. You wanted it to last. You nurtured it. You give every damn piece of effort to try and keep it. But it's so sad and frustrating that the other party doesn't seem to give a shit. They don't look like they care at all. Or maybe, to them, the friendship has already expired. Or they're just taking the friendship for granted.

They come to you when they have problems, they depend on you, and you gave your 110% effort because you really do treasure the friendship. But after comforting them, they go off. They don't even ask about your life, or your problem. They don't even initiate the first move in keeping in touch. They don't know what's going on in your life.

Taking friendships for granted. That's one of the worse thing you can ever do to someone. Taking it for granted that he/she will be there for you when you need them, but you don't even bother trying to keep in touch with them or talk to them once in a while to ask them how are they. Maybe you do treasure it, but you're just taking it for granted. Don't do that. Don't ever. You might lose a friend. A really good friend.

However, it's true that some friendships have expiry dates. They just wear off. People need different friends at various stages. But that isn't always the case. Like any relationship, friendship is also a relationship that needs nurturing and care in order to grow and last. It all depends on how important it is to you.

There's only so much I can take. I have my limitations. Everyone has problems in life. And everyone depends on friends to make them feel better. I do too. Or maybe I'm just being stupid. Maybe you didn't even care at all. Maybe it's all me.

Maybe it's time to let go.
