There\\’s that saying: \\”Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.\\” -Maya Angelou<\/p>\n

Now don\\’t get me wrong. \u00a0Sometimes I am a sucky friend. \u00a0I\\’m the worst at keeping in touch with people at the best of times and it\\’s not because I don\\’t love my friends, I have legit memory issues and well adulting is hard yo!<\/p>\n

I have learned one thing through the years though, even more so after moving to Montreal: who my circle is. \u00a0I have a lot of friends and I am fortunate to be surrounded by them and I am secure in the knowledge that they love me, even when I am not always around, or when I am not very lovable.<\/p>\n

I have one very important thing in common with these people though: Loyalty.<\/em><\/p>\n

I know who will be there for me in a heartbeat and I know who won\\’t. \u00a0Some people I can count on when it really matters and some not so much… \u00a0So it irritates me when some people complain that I come home and I don\\’t go out of my way\/make the time to see them. \u00a0It\\’s not usually a secret when I come home (except for that one time) and I\\’m really not that hard to find when I am in Ontario. \u00a0Up until recently, I would always be staying at the same house.<\/p>\n

Mind you, it depends on why I returned in the first place. \u00a0I had truly wanted to meet up and see a ton of people but I was just done. \u00a0So done with this whole adulting thing and having just finished up final exams for this term, my mom sold the house, my dad died and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

I was SO very, tired this time around.<\/em><\/p>\n

So sadly I missed out on a lot of stuff, but it was in part by sheer exhaustion, not so much by choice. \u00a0I made my mom and option this time around. \u00a0I didn\\’t come home to Ontario for a vacation per se. I came home to give back because I haven\\’t been able to help out as much in a physical sense, I was however pulling my weight behind the scenes which is just as exhausting. Except some people don\\’t \\’see that\\’ and it doesn\\’t count in their mind.<\/p>\n

But fuck them. \u00a0Seriously.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway, it was nice to be able to come home and not only help out my mom but indulge her a little. \u00a0It doesn\\’t take much to make her happy and if taking her out for a few meals and doing some laundry makes her day a little brighter, than so be it. She\\’s the best mom ever and she totally deserves it. \u00a0She bends over backwards to make people happy, even when they don\\’t deserve it.<\/p>\n

I did make it a point to stay later this time with the hopes of seeing\/doing more but i\\’m old yo and when I don\\’t get enough sleep and my allergies are being douchy I get uber lethargic and it just takes too much effort overall, even more for those who would never respond in kind (aside from my mom putting my ass to work on the daily). \u00a0You get what you put in after all. However, to the people who claim to miss me and complain and carry on that *I* don\\’t make time for them…<\/p>\n

Would you make time for me? \u00a0Montreal isn\\’t that far, I\\’ve lived there for 11 years now and only five of my friends have made the trip to see me. \u00a0I don\\’t care about your excuses. \u00a0I know some circumstances can\\’t be helped, I totally get that… \u00a0However I am unemployed, a student and yet I made the trek for the second time this year. \u00a0There are SO many ways to come see me on the cheap, you just need to be willing<\/em> to do them.<\/p>\n

So your excuse(s) is invalid.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
