Reaching

I have two types of friends. I have the reachers and the reached. People don't have infinite attention spans, so we're forced to focus on a few people. Even though there are persons with hundreds upon hundreds of "friends," realistically, they only deal with ten at most on an intimate level -- or even fewer.

That said, when it comes to setting things up, certain friends have certain contact preferences. The majority of my friends are reached, because they're lazy or self-entitled. How great would it be to just relax and let others ring me up all day long? By default, I have to be a reacher. The only way to get anything done these days is to reach out to others. Somebody has to get the ball rolling.
