A Social Challenge
Oh Facebook, I wish I could blame you for my ignorance. For giving me the impression of actually keeping in touch with my friends all while logging into to your website and sending messages and posting on my friends walls. What a LIE this has been. A lie that has lasted too long. Do you get what I mean?
So I have a plan, a strategy, an angle at life. I have challenged myself to meet seven of my old friends and meet them for a long conversation whether it be during a walk on the street, a coffee or over a dinner. Seven friends before the end of this month.
it’s time to get off of Facebook and SOCIALIZE BITCHES!
I need to get myself a t-shirt to remind myself how much I love interacting with other humans. It is time to get off my ass and make a stable plan. You know that feeling you get when you get out of the house after sitting home for a full day or two before? It’s weird to be in public places again. You forget how to be comfortable around other people. I really need to make this a regular thing, maybe another seven friends next month?
Today I met with one of my friends whom I have not seen for over a year. It was great catching up! It was great to be outside! I am talking as if I just got out of prison. – Maybe a self imposed prison?
I also found out something sad when getting in touch with one of my other friends whom I also have not kept in touch with regularly. I found out that this friend’s relative has passed away recently… I was speechless, this person was young, a sibling.. To know that now that I was not there for her at a time of such tragedy makes me want to kick myself! Really sad. I am so sorry.
Just shows how important it is to keep in touch. Also with the holidays coming and as rainy and miserable it has been outside, getting in touch with my friends really makes me feel better about life. Nothing beats face to face interaction. Not even a good iPhone game. — geek!
