It is so funny but I think about this a lot.
I'm not really sure why, but it is something my husband and I talk about often.
So here is what I have come up with.....
Facebook should be divided up between friends, and people I know.
I mean really I can tell you I probably look at 20 pages TOPS, and I can tell you why I look at those pages: a. They have kids around my kids age. This makes up for probably 15 of the 20 pages I actually keep up with. or B. They were someone who I was very close with at one point. (This being the other maybe 5 pages.)
I can tell you I NEVER look at my friends pages who I hang out with.
I mean really I don't need to look at pictures of Mo due to the fact I see her beautiful face every day. If she updates her status I was normally with her, or heard about it over the phone or text.
So with this in mind I sit here and think of my 390 "Friends" who are truly friends?
What is a friend?
Here is what I have come up with.
I have mommy friends.
These are the amazing people who I may not be friends with outside of this lovely circle of mommyhood.
We talk about our kids, and truly care what is going on with each others children.
I would also say that most of these friends are facebook friends.
We comment on funny status updates, pictures, and milestones.
I know I can ask any one of these ladies a question, and they will be quick with advice.
I have my back in the day friends.
These are the friends who I will always love and cherish, but will probably never have "that" relationship with.
These are both the male and female friends who know who I was, and why I am who I am now.
They are the friends who I go to lunch with when they are in town.
The ones I laugh with about "That one time in high school"
The ones I have endless pictures of.....
There are the Old friends that are new again.
These ones are very special to me at the moment.
I mean how wonderful is it to rekindle an old friendship.
They know your crazy stories, but you get to catch up on the past several years.
I have the "family" friends
These people know who they are.
These are the friends that would do anything for me, and I would do anything for them.
These are Krew and Kade's aunts and uncles, maybe not by blood, but by love.
These are the people who I miss when I don't see for a week.
The people who can walk into my house the day BEFORE the cleaner comes, and I don't care.
They know the me that stresses, cries, worries, fights, obsesses, and loves.
These are the few. The few who I trust with all I have.
Of all these friends I cherish what we have to offer each other. I mean that is the true meaning of friendship right?
Giving
Giving advice, a helping hand, a memory
