I think, well I know, that I'm not always a very good friend. I have very few female friends actually and I think its because I'm not so good at making or keeping them. Women are much harder work than men. We're moody, hormonal, emotional and that's on a good day. I've realised that I don't deal with that very well, you see I have no patience.. I know it, it's not a surprise! I'm also not the most sociable person. I'm very private, very stubborn and fiercely independent. I don't let people in very easily.
I make new friends, sometimes they stay in my life for a little while, sometimes they stay for good. With those kind of friends, the ones who stay for good, even though we don't see each other that often, we can pick up where we left off after a month, two months, six months, whatever. That's nice, because I know I'm not the best at nurturing friendships, I know I can be very insular sometimes (most of the time) but there's often nothing better than a cuppa with a girlfriend and a good natter about all sorts, men, kids, life and love.
This is just a little post to say I know I'm rubbish sometimes, but just because I've been distracted with life doesn't mean that I don't love my friends :)
