i'm not one to make new years resolutions, but there's something that i noticed that i've been re-missed about this past year. like a spotlight used in times of dense fog, it's become glaringly obvious to me. i haven't been cultivating my friendships like i should.
i know my friends will always be my friends but i feel like i've been absent in their lives. i feel like we've grown apart this year and that's not sitting very well with me. the reason for me is because of work. i've been so drained this past year, emotionally, physically and mentally, that i find it even challenging to muster up the energy to initiate meeting up or even catching up with friends by ways other than text or emails.
i know i'm not the only one guilty of this but it doesn't make me feel any better about it. everyone i know is also busy with work, partners and starting of families and thus, tend to neglect people outside their most immediate or nuclear circle. any sort of get-togethers are often because of birthdays or christmas. mind you, those are important things to celebrate and recognize, but there's also 365 days in a year. and lots of other opportunities to stay connected.
i want to make more of an effort in 2012 and changes are being made so this pronounced chasm that i'm feeling disappears.
oh, and i'm going to try my hand at baking in 2012.
