ON FRIENDSHIP I was out for drinks the other night with a good friend of mine. The topic of friendship popped up, or more importantly, why some people instantly bond with each other. Of course, there are the other kinds of people as well - those that we keep at arms distance, and those that we can't stand to be around. The latter two are obvious, I think.
Why do I bond with some people? I think it is like coming "home." I have some friends that instantly put me at ease. I can totally relax in the presence, and share my innermost thoughts. They'll challenge those thoughts, and also recognize that we're unique because our thoughts don't always have to be in sync. They admire me (and vice versa) because we can stand up for those beliefs, and admit that we might not have thought them through as well as we might have hoped.
We don't have to perform when we're in the presence of friends.
They fit like a glove. Well... a good fitting glove...
