Thursday Thoughts

So I just watched the movie "The Social Network." For those of you that don't know what it is about, it essentially tells of how Mark Zuckerburg founded facebook. I have no idea if any of it was true, but it made me think about how people treat each other has friends. I value my friends a lot, even though I may not show it. Lately, I feel like I have lost contact with a lot of friends I used to have and I feel terrible about it. I guess going down separate roads in life takes a toll on friendships. All of my friends from high school went to different colleges and went and did other things. As for friends from college, there are some that have left that I regret not keeping in touch with.  

Then, there are friends that no matter how much happens in life, they will always be there for you. They will even pick up a conversation like nothing has changed and you are talking to them like you used to when you did talk to them everyday. Those are the friends I love the most. They are almost like family. 

Now this movie I watched tonight made me somewhat mad. The founder of facebook took advantage of and betrayed his one true friend. I hated it. I personally believe in trying to give more than receive in any kind of relationship, whether it be a friend, lover, or family member. There is just something inside of me that believes that people (Everyone) should look outside of the "me" box and stop being so selfish.  Try to care more about the ones who care about you.  If you do, most of them will return the favor and you will be happy because of it. 

Just a thought for the day.  I want to tell everyone that no matter where we stand, I value the friendship we have. Here's a good song:

  1. I haven't seen that movie. I like your thoughts on friendship, I totally agree about giving more in a relationship. The friends you love the most are the ones who are selfless and willing to help you when you need it; I hope I am that kind of friend to others.
