What are friends for?

Hey! What's up? I just started my blog today and I have been wanting to get some things off of my chest. My big question of the day is what are friends for? The reason I am asking this question is because I am having trouble with some of them. Here is the low down. Last year I moved in with my boyfriend and he lives about an hour away from my family and friends. I go to visit them when I'm not working which is hardly ever. It seems like when I go up there I feel really left out. They never talk to me or call me. It seems that I ahve to be the one to always call them and you know that it takes two to tango. I just dont know what to do. I have one friend that always stays in contact with me, but she lives miles away and she told me to just forget about it, but that is really hard to do. We had some great times together and I now that we are growing up, but they could at least still stay in touch. Well.. if you have any advice for me please let me know.. Thanks. Have a great day. Peace and Love.
