I hate it when someone says, "I'll always be here for you". For one, they can't be because we are human. And second, I usually believe them and then when I try to talk to them, they don't want to hear it. Why tell someone that if they don't mean it?

Just my sorta theory on that but..I do believe sometimes people truly mean well and have no known intentions on exiting our lives.unfortunately though,circumstances in each and everyone of our lives change and life as a result.I've been close to people before and for whatever reason,they tend to live extremely busy lives to the point a phone call has to find a way in their day.Doesn't seem so much to ask but I myself,think about my daughter every single day and before I know it,it's a new day often and I haven't called.(she lives out of state)For myself,it's not a matter of wanting to disappear or go away for long periods.More of life moves at a very rapid pace and our relations will also.I'm at the age I don't hold out for a "friend that will always be there" offline or even on but I do know the minute we give up hope caring for people deeply,whether it turns out how we wished or not,we're in trouble I'm glad you posted this because I deal with this issue alot.I tend to get very bored,wish for true friendships in person and when it doesnt happen,and around here it hasnt except for an occassional convo with a couple different neighbors,I get sad.Why?Because I'm still in the mode,most times without realizing it,that I want "something for keeps".Nothing is for keeps.Nope.Not our children,our spouses,our homes,anything.The one thing that is,Jesus,is the one thing that's hardest to see sometimes but more available than any friend could ever be.That's all God bless you Bloodstone
