Friendships

Since moving here in SG, I have sent out regular emails and photos to all my family and friends - and at first I got a lot of replies. But as time has gone on, the replies have lessen and now it's just my closest friends who are in regular contact. I can understand why. My family are seldom use computers and prefer to text and do a phone call. My friends have moved on - they have probably accepted that they are unlikely to see us again on a frequent basis, and got on with their lives, whilst I still long for the friendships I left behind, because the new ones are still fresh to offer real support. Obviously there are some very good friendships that will always stay in touch, but even they email less than I do. Perhaps they feel that their news isn't as interesting as mine, but of course that isn't true, I stick on to all the news about Manila, however boring it is.
