Keep in touch with people

Somethings got to give. And it has to be me. If you don’t give, you don’t recieve. Thus, no matter what others are like, I will just try to reach out and say hello and how are you, even if they look unappraochable. You see I look very unapproahable most of the time and I really don’t want to anymore. Recently, a boy from my year at school committed suicide. I just think to myself, I could have said this to him or been there for him as a friend. But you never think people will do something like this so I suppose you have to be nice to people and keep in touch with old friends and new all the time as you never know what could happen to them or how long they will have left to live. It’s so sad and has torn my heart to pieces even though he wasn’t that close at all to me. But he was someone I knew for about 15 or 16 years from a distance yet so close at the same time and he left such a big imprint on my life and those around him. His passing has taught me it is important to keep in touch with all people one comes into contact with. Even if it is just to say hey how are you I care what happens to you. RIP T.P.

I’m terrible at this. Once I let someone out of my life I don’t bother with them again. Or maybe it’s when it is too hard to keep in touch. Also, I find it hard to constantly know what to say or how to connect with people. Any tips? I feel bored and I guess it shows. People don’t contact me very often either and I think it’s because at school I used to give my friends excuses when they asked me to hang out after school and now I’m on this old machine payin the price for it. I have barely any friends, actually no one that visits me and I don’t have anyone to visit besides my cousins who don’t return the favour. I have nothing in common with cousins anyway we are on totally different planets. I think I will try to keep in touch with old friends or make time for new friends as it seems cousins just have a life of their own anyway. No wonder Jesus hung out with a bunch of friends most of the time, can’t rely on extended family. Also I need to have someone besides my mum, dad, bro and sis to talk to once in a while. Gosh, my little bro has more of a social life. I encourage him to because I don’t want him to end up like me.And my sis, she’s so happy I don’t want her to be a pessimist about her friends like i am, so I let it be when she says she wants a friend round, they entertain themselves anyway.
