So about this “ friend” thing…..

when I think about my friends…. It’s a mixture of warm fuzzy…. Sharp and jagged…..in your face….soft eyes… and eyes with daggers 🗡️

I have real friends…. that without hesitation tell me in no uncertain terms what they think 🤔..   they don’t sugar coat it…..

I have friends that are closer than relatives…. Friends that are like trains that leave and come back….. friends that orbit and land from time to time…..

Some are flippid….. some sparse with words (some of my closest) and communicate wonderfully with head tilts and facial gestures.

my friends run the gamut of “terminally pessimistic”…… they keep me grounded and remind me of what I don’t want”….  Overly optimistic……wishful thinkers and determined losers……who can take the best opportunity in the world 🌎 and in no time flat turn it into a quagmire. Then the “ ordinary people “…. that seem to be cut from the same mold….. until you take a chance and are rewarded with power that flies under the radar and only lands where it feels comfortable and that takes an investment of time.There are no ordinary people, just people you don’t know.

A mark of a true friend…..someone you haven’t physically seen or interacted with for some time and yet you remain connected…..

about this “friend thing”….
