Faux-Friendships
I had coffee with a dear friend this morning. It's nice catching up with friends you've been out of touch with for a while. I realized something. I keep a limited amount of people I call friends - I can actually count them on one hand, and amazingly only two of them are on facebook. We spoke about friendships in this faux-friend town. Real friendships are rare. Most people like to call themselves friends because they want something. At first I was sad that I had so few friends who cared about me, but after our conversation this morning, I realized how lucky I am to have more than the average amount of true friends! The statistic in ones lifetime is to have 2 true friends. I have five, and I haven't lived a lifetime. I am a good friend to many, yet the reciprocal is not true. People in Los Angeles are used that, those of us who've been here for a while. The new folks to Los Angeles undergo a total culture shock! Everyone is selfish to a certain extent, but here in LA it's almost criminal (if not) how selfish people are. This really is the town of "unworthy egos." Everyone wants to be heard, yet very few listen. I am no longer sad about only having 5 true friends. In fact, I am no longer sad about anything these days. I've very happy with the woman I am becoming. I've let go of the girl of the past. Thanks to those five.

You're such a wonderful person, always so caring and helpful that surely you've achieved more than only five true friends, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteTrue friendship is rare to find these days, not only in LA but all over the world, however it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist! YOU are a true friend, Lisa. So that confirms what I am saying. No matter how many true friends we have but the security we feel knowing that they're real friends and never will betray us.
Congratulations for your blog, Lisa!
You're doing a great job! M. Prats
