Breaking the silence...

[rain24]

I've sequestered myself in my house since December. I've gone out for art supplies and some good food here and there, but I didn't return phonecalls from friends asking to go out. I just wasn't ready. Most of the time I just wanted to stay home with my stuff and make art. After a while, I did realize that friendships need attention and it

I tend to "hermitize" quite a bit, so staying in touch is a struggle for me. But yeah, I do it so that I keep the ones that I have now.

Here's to keeping the friends that we have now and making new ones. *clink*

I have often told myself that I can't make or keep friends. But I think I finally learnt it in November and December that I do have friends and they are not going to disappear in the air just like that - but that it means that I also have to do my share. To learn to respect and appreciate them for who they are and for being my friends, because it would be wrong to act like they don't exist.

So, I just wanted to say that spending time with friends sounds lovely:) Even though I know how tempting it can be to just isolate yourself sometimes...

Yes, this is a lesson that I'm slowly learning. The need to just be alone is very overwhelming at times. I guess it's hard. My real life friends know about my interest in art, but don't share it. Which is probably why I interact more with people online and through the mail - the ones that do get what I do. :D

But yes, we must keep the ones we have and work at it.
