So did you see the vacation posts of your acquaintances on facebook or that famous gang’s “checking out new restaurants” post? Or maybe that “forever together” snapchat post?

Don’t you look forward to meeting your friends on weekend? Sometimes makes me wonder is it just the longing to meet them after  long weekdays or just an escape plan from your 9-5 schedule that makes you want to meet these people?

Our generation today is living life one weekend at a time. In the middle of which, a lot of things happen to us, our routine sucks the life out of us. And it's only natural for us to feel tired and try to find an outlet. Which arrives in the form of Friday evenings.

A group of  people finding peace in the company of others caught in similar situations, over rounds of beer and food, only to forget them on Monday mornings. Until next Friday, that is.

A friend is no longer someone who rides with you on their bike down the street, they're the one who "liked" your photo.

A friend isn't always someone who looks you in the eye with a look of compassion, but rather someone who posts something positive on your wall for all to see.

A friend is no longer someone you can call at 2:00 AM when you are feeling low because your meetings are restricted to weekends getaway trying to escape hectic daily schedule.

So stop looking at those “perfect group” posts and getting jealous and wondering you had the same gang. Look back, see the true friends you have, because at the end you don’t need people for group photos to post on social media or those new checkins but friends whom you can call when you are low, share your problems with them, talk about life and so much more. Friendship is not about posts its about connections, its about bonds and its high time we understand this.
