Alright I am back from India vacation.
A topic that I had been thinking for a long time.Do you all call your friends or family weekly once?Why i am asking this? Because nobody does that to me.This is a topic that I had been thinking nearly for the past two years.
I have tried my best to keep up many friendships and relationships with friends cousins etc but somewhere it's disconnected.When I went to india I even asked them directly.They asked me in your free time what do you do? I said I will message or call people in india to talk.They said we would look into our family and that's the difference.This really hunted me.I don't know how come everyone whom I interacted gave the same answer.I even told them phone is the only medium to speak to all of you and I don't think they understood my feelings.For the past one year I have stopped making outgoing calls to india.I thought atleast they would call but to my surprise I get a call monthly once they too when they are free or with a reason.I am so very disappointed with this behaviour.They say they are busy.Even if they give a valid reason I can understand.Wont a human have 2 minutes to ask a how are you ?But they all have time to be online in Instagram and what not.Any how that's all not my business now.
With lots of hardships and tears I have come out of that faced.I started to focus more on me.Let me be honest it was very difficult to stop that making a call to india feeling.Now I just don't care.If anyone calls me I speak or else no.
So if there is or was anyone like me share your experience here.
Be kind with your comments please.
I am happy to have to all here to share what we think with each other.
Silence taught me a lot.A lot.
Yeah, a call can heal more than we realize. Thank you for your recent blog visit and comment.
ReplyDeleteTrue atleast for me.
DeleteKeeping in touch takes effort when family and friends live far away. Life gets busy and no-one intends to give offence, but it happens.
ReplyDeleteThank you.To an extent I agree with it but very rare .
Deletei am part of a generation who grew up without a cell phone to text...we did not have computers. i developed different habits for communication, today young adults "text", it's how they communicate. i have tried to fit in to that, as i would like to keep in touch with family and friends. i enjoy talking on the phone, but it can be repetitive and time consuming. i make and get phone calls but not as often. i find if i text someone, they answer me right away, even my own boys. i sympathize with you but sometimes we have to change our thought process as the "norm" changes!!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie.Yes i am trying my best .
