Making an Effort

I've read and been told too often that the people who are meant to stay in your life will make an effort to. Confusing, isn't it? This mentality makes it easy for us to blame the other person after we lose touch when it's equally our own fault.

The other day I realized I hadn't heard from my old roommate Celina in a week or so. For a second I thought, "Well, I'll wait until she texts or calls me." But I fought it and typed up a text to her instead. The problem with the "they'll make an effort" idea is that they could be thinking the exact same thing. So, new idea: make the effort to keep the good ones in your life. You'll be glad you did.
