#5 That Lovely Word; Commitment

 #5 That Lovely Word; Commitment 

So; we all know this. If we are to have friends. We need to commit to them. After we have figured out how to talk; introduced ourselves etc. Now, what about actually doing something about this new found friendship.

What does your schedule look like? Can you fit them in? Or are you going to scramble into your datebook and then run and ditch them? Now don't be a serial cad. If they are your friend, COMMIT. Actually be there. Don't say you got something set then run off like a mad person

If you can't actually make it. TELL THEM. We all have lives and we can't fit every human being on our ever growing schedule of friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, companies, and international robbery (if that is your thing). Be supportive and let them know. Don't assume they know already. We can't read their minds. Goodness.If they are not ok. CHECK ON THEM. Text them even if they are working. Let them know you think about them. 

Aka

COMMIT, COMMIT, COMMIT

Means; do it. Don't be a half-hearted ass and say you do, then go to Pluto without them. That's rude. If they don't answer, don't expect them to answer. Unknown scenarios happen. We cannot anticipate situations that are outside our control. So don't control their narratives.This applies online and in real life.

Check on them if they haven't answered in a long period of time. Not if they have already mentioned beforehand why. You make enemies quicker that way.

Take your time. Friendship is an ever growing adventure.Give them time.
