"Sometimes we expect more from others because we'd be willing to do that much for them."

A friend posted this on facebook recently and it's been stuck in my head since. I think every person relates to this quote in some way. I feel like I make an active effort into keeping in contact with people and lately I've been thinking perhaps its too much in some situations. Specifically I'm talking about when a relationship is more one sided as far as doing the little things which make big differences. Don't get me wrong, I know I am FAR from perfect and I've probably done this to people too.

I've started to realize that I should maintain and build on those friendships who are close to me and not worry about those who don't care as much. This is coming from experiences of me being close to someone and at some point for one reason or another we just drift apart. I think I take it more personally than I should and I try to rebuild the friendship when they don't seem to care as much. I'm definitely not talking about the majority of people but after looking back there are times I've asked myself why am I trying to make such an effort to talk to this person if it seems like they don't care? I enjoy talking to and meeting people so I hope this isn't coming off as bitter or anything of that nature but more so meant to act as a learning experience. I think for those of you who know me well enough know we're I'm coming from and I appreciate all of you who do make an effort to talk to me.
