friendship

Friendship is a funny thing.  What makes you click so naturally with one person you seem completely incompatible with, and not really enjoy someone with whom you have a lot in common?  When does friendship start?  Where does acquaintance end and friend begin? And how can a friendship that has survived so much come completely undone over something that seems incredibly minor?

Sometimes it's hard, scary and intimidating to make new friends.  Or, it flows so naturally that you marvel at how close you have become so quickly.  Why is that?  just something i've been thinking about lately...

good questions.
also good questions to ask:

how come my friends understand my needs better than i do?

when does it become okay to fully thrive on the advice of those who know you well - where is the line when you have to choose things for yourself?

i think i've said this before, but i'm still fully convinced of the theory - the more vulnerable, open, and honest we are, the better our friendships become - because we're giving a little bit of ourselves away.

i like your thoughts...
