Did you have an experience in mind?
Usually people who are busy with their life don't have as much time for friends unless they are close friends. Work, family and chores eat up most people's lives and throw in relaxing once in a while. I think busy people have good perspectives and are fun to be with when the opportunity comes.
I'm not sure what you mean by this but I'm not sorry that people have a better time than me or better experiences. I like hearing about them. I am a live with no regrets kind of person. I have learned to accept myself because I guess I am not a "make things happen" kind of person. I just kind of go with the flow. On the other hand, every now and again, I get in a "mood" and I wish I had made more friends in my lifetime because I start thinking of when I am older, I will have nobody but my family scattered about. And my family is NOT very big!!
Sometime a person has the greatest friends that may get a head in life being successful . They start hanging out with other friends that are successful making you feel left out , or on the other hand . They back off from you ....
It like friends we used to have . We get tied up in life and move on , never keeping in touch ....
Maybe I'm confusing myself and you may not understand what I'm trying too say .
Well, Wayne, what I have learned is people are friends in the time of your life when you need them and when you still share similiar lifestyles and interests. Sometimes it works that they grow with you but MORE often, that is not the case. In other words, when you are a kid, you are growing together but maybe one grows up quicker or develops an interest in sports or something not so good like drugs and that other person isnt on the same "wavelength" so they find other friends. In my case...in my late teens, my BF went to college, I got married. When my oldest child was in preschool, I made friends with other parents but then maybe THEY had older children while I had younger children and you branch off and make new friends amongst your "new" life. I know that as my life changed, it just was harder to get with some friends because of THEIR schedule, MY schedule, etc. I think a big thing is CONVENIENCE. Its EASIER for people to sustain a life, raise kids, maintain romantic relationships, etc. when that friend is gonna be at church on Sunday, or your kids are playing soccer together on Wednesday night, or in the parking lot of your the kids' school or whatever. Its harder to call up your favorite friend and say, I'm available Tuesday and Friday this week, how about you? OH Tues and Fri are no good....maybe NEXT week and then...as we all have experienced...."NEXT WEEK" never comes!!
If someone has a goal or ambition to reach to the stars, I'm all for them to give it all they've got. If someone is social climbing not so much.
My husband cheered me on to go for positions at work that I might not have tried to get on my own, I'm grateful for his confidence in my abilities, allowed me to retire at 59 because my new salary range boosted me to a level that I would have had to work 10 years longer to get in my old position. Yes I did go back to school for two years to help me get there and it paid off. I was really busy at that time, working and going to school along with home and family.
Very True Rose
Every one should be able to reach for the stars . Make what you can in life , be happy and enjoy ...
