I like pictures. I like them a lot. But I mostly like keeping them to myself.
If the art is too precious and I know most audience in my feed won't appreciate it or see how important it is, I am glad to have my own private gallery for safe keeping.
The reality is that in social media these days, there lives our so called friends and relatives. But mostly, they are just people who happen to cross paths with us, form a short or long connection that one time which was a long way back before we ended up parting to go off on different directions and focus on other things. I find it very rare that the heart to heart connections last for real.
You still know their names. You still have memories of each other. But thousands of names in our friend list, and rare do I find one check on me solely for pure reasons that just hope the best for me. Some did start that way, only to end up revealing they have a product to sell or a favor to ask for another. It gets tiring to hope the love was real.
Feelings stay a while. Adoration does the same. But rare do I find them last when the world works with time to reveal many sides to a person.
In my life, I have built many connections. I did happen to be a fool once or twice or thrice and believed that such firm connections are meant to last a lifetime. But many things can happen in life. Their priorities change. And so do mine. Many a time, we just outgrow each other.
It is rare that I find a heart that knows how to speak to mine and keep it, without treating me like a cage or a cheer supporter or a pretty figure to brag to other people.
So I do not share to them what is precious. I let them be part of my friend list for the sake of it. But do we count as friends? I can count my real friends in one hand.
What about now, you ask? How do I deal?
Well, I'm still looking forward to meet a few good ones. I heard they exist. Those diamonds in the rough, the voyagers on Earth who would see me as me, call me a big part of their life and decide to join and stay on the journey with me just because. :)
How easy it is to have offered help to a stranger just because. I did it. Many times.
How easy it is to offer friendship and persevere at it just because. I did it too. Many times.
Was it reciprocated? Once or twice. For a while and then null.
Sometimes, we still hope for the best for each other. And for that, I am glad and I praise God for the meetings.
But now, I don't want to waste any more time. I want the things that last. The people that stay.
And for that, I would learn to invest wisely. :)
Because it's about time I rise.
