A watched phone never rings...

Why is it that when you don't want to talk to anyone, your phone never stops ringing, and you have 3 million e-mails every day?

And when you really just want to talk to someone, the phone is practically non-existent?

No matter what the cause of this phenomenon, it exists. I'm sure it has something to do with the Sun, moon, Venus and Mars lining up or playing catch with the stars, but for some reason, it always seems to happen.

I try really hard not to keep looking at my phone...but I keep checking it every five minutes to make sure I didn't miss anything.

The same with e-mail. I remember in college I'd get hundreds of e-mails a day...and now...I might get like 5.

I think it all has to do with the need to be needed.

There are some things within myself and my personality that I can't change, and this is one of them.

I think I am always going to have the need to be needed by anyone and everyone. I don't care who calls or e-mails me, as long as someone does...

Until then...I'll keep watching...
