In the fast-paced world of adulting, finding friends who understand the need for occasional disappearing acts can be a challenge. We all have our own black abyss of adult responsibilities that we sometimes need to dive into, only to resurface months later with a casual "Whatcha doin' Friday?" But hey, that's just life, right?

The image that has been making the rounds on social media perfectly captures this sentiment. In a simple yet bold text, it reads: "I require low maintenance friends. You gotta allow me to disappear into the black abyss of adult responsibility... then pop up in 6 months like 'Whatcha doin' Friday?'"

This relatable statement has struck a chord with many netizens who understand the delicate art of balancing friendships with the demands of adulthood. It's a humorous take on the reality of our busy lives and the need for understanding companionship.

One user, in response to the image, humorously commented, "Me checking Wikipedia: 'In geometry, a nonagon or enneagon is a nine-sided polygon or 9-gon.'...oh wait, they meant 'polygon'." It's clear that the image has sparked a lighthearted conversation among online communities, with everyone sharing their own experiences and perspectives.

While some may argue that true friendships require constant attention and regular communication, there is something refreshing about having low maintenance friends who are there for you when it counts, regardless of the time that has passed. These are the friends who understand that life gets in the way, and they are willing to pick up right where you left off, as if no time has passed at all.

In a world where social media and constant connectivity often dictate the strength of a friendship, this image serves as a reminder that true friendships can withstand the test of time and distance. It's not about the quantity of interactions, but rather the quality of the connection.

So, the next time you find yourself disappearing into the black abyss of adult responsibilities, remember that there are friends out there who will be eagerly waiting for your return, ready to ask, "Whatcha doin' Friday?" Embrace the beauty of low maintenance friendships and cherish those who understand the delicate balance between life's demands and the need for meaningful connections.

It's a humorous take on the need for low maintenance friends who understand the occasional need for disappearing acts. So, go ahead and embrace those friends who are there for you, even if you pop up after six months with a casual "Whatcha doin' Friday?"

#40 There is stimulating pleasure of feeling all the pages I've read stacked against my thumb. I stroke the pages in the same way I stim by playing with my hair where I take several strands and run my thumb against direction the hair falls and it makes pleasant "crk crk" from the friction. Kinda like scissors through construction paper

#19 Lestat erasure. Who ruined someone's coven, went straight to that exact same guy for help later on, and was totally stunned when he got tossed off a roof? Who said f*** it and joined a rock band for a little bit literally just because? Who took an obviously bad deal just to cause problems, got f***ed over by Sir I F*** Everyone Over Esq., then spent his whole two weeks as a human again eating bad cheese and crying because his wallet got stolen and he tripped and hit his head on a table?

#31 Most casino chips are worth nothing as soon as they leave the hotel. On the strip, they rotate with a group of serial numbers chips a day, or the colors of each denomination. They want you to stay and gamble if you're winning, or stay in their hotel.
