Wanna be missed!

Bid adieu to my previous bread and butter provider - 5 days
Said 'may I come in' to the new bread, butter and maybe a tinge of marmalade provider - 5 days

Received a few calls from friends 'back there' - almost everyday
Received calls from colleagues from 'in here' (and who might not become friends) - 2 days

Expecting a certain call and perhaps text messages responded to? - 1 (not worth it!)
Expecting calls and text messages from genuine friends? - 100s (over the next so many years) - WARNING!!! drop the expectations...sure shot, infallible route to hurt, disappointment, anger and emotional distress.

So...I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to fall asleep, because I don't want to miss being missed. I like being missed. By people who care. And it's nice to know that one has some people who do. The rest are pretenders, who are not good for the long haul and won't last the many sunsets. Discard, shrug, dispose!

Ok. What's next on the agenda?
