Quality Time

Quality time vs Quantity time.

What is the difference between those two? The former cannot measured in terms of the amount of time spent together but what took place during the time spent together. However, the latter is simply measuring the length of time spent between people but it may not necessarily be fruitful, be satisfying etc.

What kind of person is most difficult to love or keep as a friend? I guess someone whose love language is quality time. Gifts and presents are easy to give, words are easy to formulate, acts of kindness and services are relatively easy to do if u love that person.

But in the society we live, the kind of lifestyle we choose to keep, time is but one of the most expensive thing to demand from anyone of us. Who is not busy in this fastmoving century? Or rather who is so free to wait for people to come and date them for cuppa?

I wont demand time from people, neither will i feel upset when people dont have time for me, i wont scream and shout neither will i be insecure. I will only feel upset when i know and acknowledge that i do not have your precious time,even 5 minutes but your remaining time.
What is the difference you may ask? The difference is great. The former is making time for a person even through business, the latter is "im free now, i got nothing to do, i give this time to you."

After sometime of receiving the latter or looking for me simply needing a favour from me, I will simply hide one side and disappear into the background gradually till you remember one day that i was once there. Sad to say, when you do remember, i may have already moved on to somewhere else, no longer there to be found.

Yes! I can make the first move to call, to date for cuppas but the knowledge of busi-ness will keep me away. For im weird... i dont like to impose on others, i can live perfectly well without your presence either, cause i will learn in the painful process of disappearing.

This is me. I need quality time, not quantity time. If there is an inability to give me quality time, then dont give me any time at all. I dont want it.
