imperfect (rambling)
by Have you ever come to a point in your life where you realize you have too many friends (in too many places), and you just can't be great friends with all of them, although you want to? There's a certain equalibrium to find, a special balance where you can have a lot of friends, but at the same time, have a master crew, a solid posse of your best friends to hang out with, when everything else goes wrong. It's not an easy thing to do. I know a million people, and to stay in touch with all of them is really tough. Plus, being in a band and all the people I meet there....whew, it's exhausting.
I don't really expect comments on this, I just had to express myself. I just wish I could be with all of my friends all the time, and be close to all of them. I also wish that all of us could be strong in the truth, and live right into the paradise together. Unfortunately some of my closest friends...the ones who were practically family...have fallen away from the truth. I know everyone knows what it's like. It's really time to get serious, not to fall away. We can rely on each other and upbuild one another.
This story started as one thing, and has advanced to others, I know, and I'm sorry. I guess I should end it, and recap. First, it's weird to have too many friends to juggle into the timeframe of a weekend or week. Second, it's weirder to become distant from some of those who were you best friends, because you have too many friends, or because they've fallen away. Third, I wish I could make Jehovah happy all the time, and I wish all my friends did...I hate being imperfect.

Yea.. it's tough having a lot of friends. becuase you don't have time to hang out with them all.. and then sooner or later you just become acquantinces..
exactly, that's I'm talking about
yea i hate it.. because everyones cool and fun to hang around with .. and if i had the time i'd be there.. but i have full time work and school... along with all spiritual duties.. it's impossible to fit everyone in..
yeah, so say that you decide just to stick with a smaller group, well, sure, you get close to them, and that's good, but then you feel like you're either cheating other people, because you hardly ever hang out with them, or you feel like your missing out on stuff. I don't know. Like you said, there's work, things to do, and spiritual duties--and not one of those can you really do with out (although I am jobless at the moment).
of course, you're assuming that other people enjoy your company.
haha, that sounded rough, so I just thought I'd add a little laugh: hehehe
no, no, it's all good, dean, I took it as a joke (and I was actually say exactly what you said)
I dont have any friends, so it works out perfectly for me.
hey, you've got me
well yes, you of course. but no others. i disable all others accounts.
I know what you mean hun, i am constantly meeting new interesting people, and it is so hard to make time to cultivate frienships with these people while maintaining the important old long lasting friendships and at times i do slip up :(
Its like an added responsibility to hold onto old friends, building relationships with current friends and continue to meet new friends. But hey, its all well worth it! (especially when you drive an hour and a half to have dinner with COOL friends, then come home and get 5 hours of sleep for service the next morning)
my problem is i dont have time to make friends and with the friends i have i miss themm too much...
