Only 17 Friends

this message has been appearing on my fb page a few times. and when i saw it again today, it just occurred to me that it sounds like a crime to have only 17 friends. lol. what if this person has only 17 friends whom she really considers as friends? do you call someone your friend just because he/she is your friend on facebook? i hardly think so.

the term 'friend' is so loosely defined these days. it seems that as long as i've met you once, i can add you on fb as my friend. well, maybe. since i've already started referring people i'm not so close to as my facebook friend. ah, the difference from just saying this person is your friend. haha.

suddenly, it felt weird to see your name again. it even felt like you were a stranger. that we were never close. but i guess that is all for the best.
