recently i've been reaching out to all my friends, lovers, family just to feel a bit human, to feel loved. i guess i'm going through one of those life changing moments where i'm growing up. well i've always been pretty grown up but i guess graduating is the societal way of saying i'm a grown up.
while i'm reaching out to my people, i've noticed that its sooo much harder these days to keep in touch. there are so many more distractions from just saying hi. i've been going crazy trying to get a hold of my friends. text messaging, calling, email, facebook, aim, letters, postcards you name it and i've tried it. where is everyone? why aren't you answering me? i need to know you and i are still something. are we still friends? or did you move on to something or someone more important??? it seems with the more technology we have there are more ways to get frustrated when people you're trying to contact with is not responding. they have so many ways to say hi back and i get nothing. not even the damn busy on the phone because no one has landlines. i'm feeling a bit alone these days. no one is answering. no one is saying anything to me. i'm reaching out and my hand is getting tired from being held out for so long with no one to respond. why is that? are you too busy? are you ignoring me? are you just a bad communicator? are you bad at being human? or are you only my friend when its convenient to you? what is the reason??
i read a book way back when called John Adams. john and his wife Abigail were very close, they wrote letters to each other all the time when he was away doing president stuff. they communicated when a horse carried a piece of paper that held all the wonders of their relationship. its amazing. i love getting letters. but i dont get any. i love sending them out hoping that my loved ones will feel special that in this day and age someone still knows how to send a card. i have a seal and wax as well. i actually have several seals and several color wax for my cards. i send Christmas cards, birthday cards and just thinking of you cards. and still nothing. i am very techie and nothing. i'm starting to think the people are starting to lose their ability to stay in contact. its like wall-e when people dont touch anymore and just stare at the tube all day. it makes me sick. i'm sitting in front of my computer hoping someone will talk to me and nothing. i losing faith in the people i reach out to.
shalom.
