Hi again

So, I am thinking I ought to blog, but what about? And why should I blog? Is there anyone out there?

Friends

I got an e-mail from Ganine about the differences between simple friends and real friends. It was one of those "Pass this on to all your friends, including me" things. I generally don't forward much of anything on to anyone. As I read the list, however, I felt somewhat sad. I started thinking, who are my simple friends? Who are my real friends? And I realized that most people in my life are superficial friends. I pretend to know you by reading your blogs or looking at your Facebook status', but am I really your friend, be it simple or real?

What can I do to change that?

What kind of friends do you have in your life?

I think most people have superficial friends and a lucky few have a few true friends. There are very few people that I feel I can be my absolute true self around. I don't worry about being judged by them and know they would be there for me in any situation. That's what I think a true friend is. Everyone else - family, co-workers, bloggers, etc - are superficial if you can't be on that level with them. It can be disheartening to realize that family, though you love them, are not "true friends". At least not with my criteria.
