Keeping In Touch
Believe it or not - keeping in touch with people is a very important part of this business. You have to. Yes, keeping in touch with your friends, no matter how much you love them, can sometimes feel like a job. Here’s what I do - when I start to think about a friend, I call him or her. I have different friends for different things. Next thing I know, I have been keeping in touch with my friend. i don’t call everyday and spend a lot of time doing it (I’m saying this in case you hate the phone or the very idea of “keeping in touch”). Every once in a blue moon, I make contact with a dear friend and it feels so fantastic.
When coming into a new cast, it is not always easy to fully connect with everyone. For me, I often find myself the odd one out because I don’t like wasting money on going out to eat all the time, I don’t drink, I eat very healthy, I hardly go out to parties because I like getting enough sleep, I refuse to formulate friendships over something negative, and I love mornings. With those things alone, I already have my own thing going on that can sometimes turn people off. I don’t take it personally because I seriously like my life as it is, but when I want to open up to someone and talk about my life, it can be hard to find the right “friend” to talk to … like having my close friends around. I am not going to formulate a close bond with just anyone and neither are you. It’s an unfortunate facts of life. But that’s besides my point. When you keep in touch with friends, you will never find yourself alone. You will always be connected and able to be there for each other at any time.
In order to be available to my friends during the day time, I am now changing my phone plan to unlimited minutes all around. It is more affordable now and it’s time I did it. Plus, it will only make keeping in touch ten times easier with my friends. Do you make any efforts to keep in touch with people?
