I am very happy and proud of myself today,acknowledging myself that I make time to keep a friendship ongoing. I used to believe that relationship is like the technological innovation development. There will be a time of critical mass using the system just like in a relationship, there is a honeymoon period where we will see each other all the time.
After a period of time, the relationship developed till a mature stage where everyone is so used to having each other around, having the other person to partner for activities.
Then comes a point where relationship will slow down to a mundane thing.
Then people will slowly drift apart.
This is where maintenance of relationship comes in.
If you cannot get the kind of communication you want, you change the way you communicate.
That is what I did.
I know a friend I have known for over 20 years but recently she had a lot on her plate so we meet less and less.
She has little time to spare so I ask her out for dinner near her house.
Anyway, people has to eat.
Luckily she agreed.
I feel that before any releationship is drifted away, there must be telltale signs.
Just heed the sign and adjust.
I feel before any relationship is given up or let it drift away, one must make an effort to prevent and maintain it.
If there is the inevitable fact that has to be given up,at least I did something and will not regret it.
