i started the new year on no feet with a four-legged friend on my lap.
...so far, so good...
i've managed to maintain and strengthen the close friendships that i currently have. the only reason i can do this is because the other person wants the same thing. thank you, j.l. thank you, c.m. thank you, p.d.c. thank you, j.m. thank you, i.m. family doesn't count as a friendship because having a close relationship is a given, but thank you, a.l. thank you, r.a.

on the other hand, there are a handful of individuals that i once called my close friends but they're not so much anymore. its sad but having to constantly reschedule get-togethers is bleh. its a two-way street and its not fair for me to waste my time or wait around anymore. its hard when you try but you don't see them try. oh well, oh fell.
