For a weird reason … I’m suddenly reminded of an old Dennis Leary skit about NyQuil. It says on the bottle, may cause drowsiness, but it should say don’t make any fucking plans.

My grandfather once told me that at the end of my life I would be able to count on one hand the number of true friends I had. I did not understand the sentiment and felt it negative, but now more than ever I realize what he meant and why. It was not negative at all. It was about the limited time we have in life to truly invest in people. You cannot really be friends with everyone and have any deep connection with anyone. You can be friendly, but the investment will be limited. And that has to be ok. I have one friend from here, Harley. We have talked on the phone for hours at a time. I know her family and she knows mine. We have played zombie games and Grand Theft Auto on PlayStation. And if plans work out, we will spend time together in Salem in October, for their 400th anniversary.

I have been treated like the most horrible human on here by a few who decided I was a bad friend because I did not meet their quota of investment in this place. Fine. But if FCN shut down completely today it would not affect my life. I do care for my friends. I should not have to meet a quota that I am unaware of for my love to be genuine. Harley and I don’t even talk here at all, and have gone a month not talking, and we are as close as we ever were. That is what a real friendship looks like. We are there for each other in a moment, if needed, but we have no quota. Love is a choice, more than a feeling. If someone does not fit for you, that is more than ok, but no need to treat them like they set out to wound you. Just move on and everyone will be ok. But all of the drama and hurts that happen here demonstrate to me what I call the definition of disappointment.

Disappointment is the difference between expectations and reality. Some simply have different expectations here. They don’t always align. That does not make them evil or bad people. Some have their own hurts and a real life to deal with that affects their ability to be who you have chosen to need them to be.

This! ♥️ I've always had a few best friends rather than lots of casual friends. I don't have the time or energy to spread between many.

Over the past 5 years you've become my best, best friend, family even. We can talk every day about nothing and everything, go weeks without talking and pick up where we left off. We've spent countless hours laughing together, been there for each other through the best times and you're my rock/shoulder in the worst times.

Once a friendship has turned into just reporting back and forth what you've been doing all day, I feel the relationship has run its course. Luckily for you I don't run out of things to say so you're stuck with me. Forevvvver! 😝
