Hi there brokenentity

About wanting an "Hi there" every now and then though, I'd say that isn't too much to ask.........but have you actually told people how you feel about them not making the first move sometimes?
Although if they can't/don't after you mention it, it might not be that they don't care e.g. they might be finding things hard and don't want to contact you because they can't or don't want to end up telling you their problems; maybe they've just got used to you contacting and are waiting for you to contact; maybe they don't want to "bother you"...............doesn't at all need to mean that they aren't thinking about you or asking other people if they've heard from you or that they might not be really glad if you do contact.
But you know one day can disappear into the next, and then the next and then the next sometimes............so there's a chance that they just haven't realized how long it is since they talked with you at times- in fact there might be a list of people they haven't realized how long it is since they talked to them.

And you know anyway, often people aren't as good as they could be in really letting others know how much they matter to them.........doesn't mean they matter any the less though!!!
