How often do you hear that - pretty often. Yet, we fail to do what we say. It seems like this new day and age, we find 'no time' to keep in touch. To me it is or should be as simple as picking up the phone or shoot an email, drop a line asking how is it going? Is it really that hard? I find it so hard to believe that when people say after like 6 months that they just realized how long it has been since we last spoke. Its one thing if you have moved to a different location and in that move you have lost all addresses or lost your phone so couldn't get back in touch. Or even if you lost your email account and didn't have a way to get email addresses. But to stay in same state or country or worse in same city and still not able to maintain that is just unbelievable. Are we really that busy?
Its all about time and priorities. If you really want to keep in touch, you will. Its no different than keeping in touch with your family members. Of course with friends you have a choice and with family, you end up calling whether you want to or not :) Just kidding...but seriously, why is that we think of abstaining from such a thing as keeping in touch with old friends.
I guess I must be on the bottom of the totem pole of other friends' when it comes to keeping in touch- hehe. I am quite a social butterfly, heck I am the first to admit that. I love to chat, party, call people for dinner, watch basketball games with them or even have coffee sessions! But I am not dying to be anyone's best friend. I believe that if people want to keep in touch and you are worth keeping in touch with, they will find a way to do so. I just find it hard that they make such a big deal about it.
