before i begin i would like to quote keith

"Somebody once told me, no matter how busy you are, you'll find time if you care enough"

how true.

if you really have the heart to, even a mere five minutes of simple conversation would suffice.

i know because of the countless times i had to lie along the lines of "oh i've been really busy lately with my projects and all.." when asked why i have not been contacting that person lately.

it isn't really a lie per se , but i say it is a lie because i just didn't care enough for that person to keep him in my thoughts, and using such a cliched but plausible reason to cover up.

i remember how, even during my busy project cum exam period last year , i still found time to have nightly chats with XX and even squeeze in a short meetup or two in between classes.

this applies to family as well. i used to wonder how some of my friends are able to use abovementioned excuses as a reason for not attending family gatherings. like hello, i still went for dinner almost everyday at my grandma's even during my O levels.

friends come and go , so do lovers. trust me when i say its just not gonna work when they give you reasons like "oh im sorry i have work up to my neck now.." even when if all you requested for is a quick lunch 2 minute's walk away from that person's workplace.
