How important are friends to you? I just thought of this topic when I saw a post about a home friend. A home friend is someone you can talk to of anything. Yes you have a lot of friends in a different circles and in social media accounts but having a home friend is different. A friend that truly knows you and a friend that you can share all your worries and feelings without judging you.
It's been 3 years since I decided to be a Stay at Home mom and from that moment I also feel the loneliness and the longing for my friend and officemate who I used to be with all the time. As the time passes by I feel like my life stopped and them are still enjoying the outside world. Sometimes I had an anxiety because I thought they didn't think of me but I choose not to tell them that and accept the fact that my life is not like thiers anymore.
I started to be aloof at them. I didn't commented on thier post or even to asked how thier life going. I had also a little disappointment with them when they didn't attend to my sons dedication day even if they are the godparents. I choose to keep quiet and pretend that I understand them but the truth is that I was hurt.
I have a two main circle of friends and those two are my low maintenance friends. When we said low maintenance you don't need to check on them everyday. These two circles of friends are my high school and college friends. We only meet once a year or of there's a free time and all of us are available. These two circle of friends aren't feel the changes because we know that each of us has an own life and most of us have a family too that's why we understand why we didn't update each other always.
And my remaining circle of friends are mostly my former workmates that became my friend that I only met during our job days. They are just a seasonal friends and I understand that.
I got so used with the kind of set up where I always keep what I feel and just share it to my husband. My husband is the only friend that I had during those times. Until I discovered read.cash and meet friends virtually. This platform is not just an earnings site to me but this site helps me to meet friends from different places.
I remember my batchmates here that I became my virtual friends. When I saw virtual friends I can feel the friends vibes whenever I commented on thier article and likewise. I will no mention them here as I know they already knew that they are the one I who I am referring.
Exchanging of comments and giving an advice and it feels like you are talking to someone. Finding yourself smiling while reading a comment and thinking about a meaningful words that you will reply. I know , you also feel the same as mine.
My articles here are mostly my experience and in those article there's a always a comment who gives love , hope, encouragement and advice like a real friend even if you didn't see them yet.
I remember when I was new here and sharing some of my problems and you are here commenting your point of views. When my husband lost his job , when I need to share my in-laws situation , when my mother leave the house , when my grandmother died , when my son was sicked and when I am also sicked. You are there to me as a friend.
I shared my travel experienced , my love experience , my life experience and you still here telling me different things about my article. You are also here during my achievement , when I decided to hodl BCH , when I bought a phone , when I achieved my 1 full BCH.
Sharing some of my important day of my life. When I wrote an article about my son's birthday , when I wrote about the father's day , when I wrote about how we celebrate the Valentine's day and when I share some of my birthday highlights.
Maybe we are just communicating virtually here. Maybe didn't see each other in person but I know that our friendship has already a foundation. I just realized that I really enjoyed staying at this site not because of the NCH that I earned but because of the users that have been a part of my journey here.
Believe it or not I am teary eyed while typing this. I am looking forward that someday we can meet in person and be friends for real 🙂
You guys are the ones who I can share my problems that I can't share on other people. You are the ones who are there in times that I need someone to talk too. You are the ones who give important of my existence when I am feeling not so good. I just want to thank you all ♥️
O db, wla to sa ibang platform lalo na sa socmed. Tatawagin ka png kulang sa aruga instead of directly messaging you at mangungumusta. But here, you receive the care from others thru their comments and it helps in your personal growth
