Why do we need friends? Why indeed. So much has changed in me that it might be surprising to a few that I am even asking this question. See, I used to live for friends. If God were to ever need a person to represent His creation, "the social animal", I would be as good a choice as any.
But so much has changed in the last 5 years. After marriage, and after my son was born I just can't seem to find the time for anything. I see people after months, the same people I met almost daily. No, I'm not saying that my family such that they like to keep me at home all the time. Not at all. However there is just so much stuff going on that either I just don't have the time or I am all spent.
Amongst all this I have lost almost all my friends. To be true, all of them are in this state too. I think of this song by The Who:

No time left for you
On my way to better things
No time left for you
I found myself some wings
No time left for you
Distant roads are calling me
No time left for you
On my way to better things
No time left for you
I found myself some wings
No time left for you
Distant roads are calling me
No time left for you
This post is a banner that I'm putting up to remind me that I still need my friends. Sometimes our mind is a blender in puree mode. Everything inside is just like a formless paste. And there is just one release: talking. Yes, one could talk to oneself, or to the ether that the internet is. But why not ring up a friend, pick up a cup coffee and let it all flush itself out. Just remember to be there when your friend needs to do the same.
