Neglect

I met up with some friends who I haven't seen for nearly two years today. It was strange how we just fell back into things like the gap had never existed. Friendship is strange like that. Sometimes the realtionships you feed and water the most are the ones that shrivel up and die, while ones which you just sort of leave alone and noth bother about can flourish amazingly. Maybe its that whole "familliarity breeds contempt" thing. Simmilarly family are often people we act the nastiest to. Perhaps we assume that they will give us unconditonal love and take that love for granted because we know it will always be there. Your thoughts?
