Strange how people change when they move on to working life. Some become so obsessed with work that it becomes their whole life. Every single thing revolves around work. Friends? Relegated to somewhere at the periphery of the consciousness and only remembered when there is a lull in work. Actually we should have been prepared for such an occurence, since such workaholic behavior starts from while we are still in school. Those that are always involved in some activity or other in their clubs or with their classes are more likely to become obsessed workaholics in the future. I have proven examples for that.

But seriously, always busy? Like 24/7 busy? However much work has become your life, I don't believe it. Maybe I'm being hypocritical since I have not started work yet and can't experience how fulfilling work can be that it will take up my whole life, and maybe its just a step towards a great career. I don't know that. And truthfully? I don't really want that if this is what it takes. I understand that everyone has different goals in life, and these lead to different paths, away from each other. Then again, maybe its just selective response, and we are not the lucky ones who get replies. Its ok. I can't be bothered anymore.

(This is an accumulation of things that have been happening since I don't know when. I'm not at my angriest point, that was long past. Just felt like talking about it now. Friends may not be the most important people in our lives, but I don't think I can ever survive without them. But that's just me.)
