Keeping In Touch

We are in the year 2013. And we are surrounded by smart phones, tablets, laptops, computers, smart TVs, phones, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, the unspeakable (Myspace) and a ton of other things. So why is it so hard for people to stay in touch with someone? Or is it just me?

Over the years I've learned to stop trying to fight it if I drift away from someone, or if they drift away. I generally now only try to stay in touch with people that are worth it. But some days I find it so hard to pick up the phone and call or text them. Or log on to facebook and hit send on that message. Why is it so hard? Part of me thinks "well if they aren't doing it, why should you have to", and that part of me has a point. But what if that person is thinking the same exact thoughts as myself? I don't know. But its something that always bugs me. Why is it so hard to stay in touch?

This will boggle me for a long time. Maybe one day I will find an answer. In the mean time I'm just happy I'm still in contact with the people that truly matter. There are a couple others that I'd like to talk to more often, so to solve my problem I will send them a text or a message or something.

So at the end of the day I can say that I tried.
