FRIENDS
I had a long phone call from a good friend today who was telling me that she was depressed because she didn't have many friends and that she hadn't made any new friends since she came to France 4 years ago. I realized that I have the same problem: I have friends but those friendships are short and we never really shared anything deep. One of my best friends here didn't even call me to ask about my family after the earthquake and I know I shouldn't make a big deal about it but it still hurts a little. The friend who called said that her problem was that she tried to hard: calling or texting every few days to make sure everyone was fine; I on the contrary rarely call or text my friends afraid I'll disturb them. I could send e mails I suppose but I never do. So in a way I met great people and never made a real effort ( neither did they) to make our friendship last. I can't help but wonder if friendships like the girls in sex and the city really exist? I truly believe that in friendships it is quality and not quantity that matters. However sometimes I wish that I could have a few friends that live in the same city as I and we could meet and talk about anything and everything around some pizzas and a couple of bottles of rum ( I hate beer). God I miss my last two years of high school. I had the best time of my life and I'm disappointed because college was suppose to be better not worse.
