Apathy, indifference, not caring...
It may sound insensitive for me to say, "I don't care,"
but ask first to what I am indifferent.

petty complaints, and idle chatter.
About those, I just don't care.

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.

when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley
