Facebook "friends"

I'm amazed by how many people have like 1000 friends on facebook. Most of the people they seem to know never have anything to say to them. Personally, I don't have time to read through 1000 people's worth of BS.

I like my friends and family. If I ever invited you as a friend..I consider it as a true friendship, not just an acquaintance. Real friendship carries a burden of putting up with another persons idiosyncrasies. Upon rare occasions I find myself wanting to extricate myself from a friendship. It's accomplished easily by hiding all of their posts or "unfriending" them.

I find it fascinating to read posts from the friends I've gathered over the years. We may not agree politically or religiously but I think we all have good intentions. I may not share your opinion, but I do respect it. Life is not the same for any of us, our common bond is we want life to be good for us, the ones we love and those around us.

If you are a friend to me on facebook, you made a difference in my life or I wouldn't accept you.
