Not so much EMO as Emotional
As some of you may have noticed, I don’t post too much nowadays and when I do I like to try and make it something worth posting... something that has affected me in such a way that I would like to share it. Sometimes I fear that I think about things far too much... but... today is something of a realisation for me and not necessarily in a good way.
Not many people take the time nowadays to talk to their best friends and tell them how they feel or how much they're appreciated. But I don’t mean your best friend here... I mean your "Best Friend" if you know what I mean.
Let me explain a little what I'm trying to convey as much as I can at 4:53am... People walk around today calling everyone their best friend. The term doesn’t really have any real meaning anymore from what I can tell... Mere acquaintances are lavished with hugs and or kisses on a second or, at most, third meeting. Birthday cards get passed around offices or places of work so people can scribble down a little snippet of sentimentality for a colleague they've barely met and everyone just loves everyone. As a result when you tell someone you love them today, it isn’t much heard in the way it should be...
It's been a long time since I’ve truly had a best friend... that one person that you are happy just spending time in their company with without having to actually talk... I do truly miss it. Nothing strikes me as truly sad as someone without a best friend to confide and share their thoughts openly and honestly with, without fear. Today I feel a very sad person.
