"The inevitable question - are friends seasonal?
Somehow they seem to trudge in circles, the way we stride in and out of social circles, embrace new faces, expend copious amounts of energy to devote to the familiar, and loved.
The aimless conversations that trail spirals in the air, no need to structure sentences carefully - that amazing comfy sensation.
We often speak of how we ought to never take friends for granted, to assume that they'll be a constant presence - but perhaps that assumption is a privilege?
To know that you are regarded highly enough to merit familiarity.
That if you vanish there will be people devastated and rendered clueless by your loss."
I think I obsess over things too easily, how these waves of emotion cave in on me; do people feel so easily, I have often pondered; perhaps I am an oddity or extremity when it comes to emotional rollercoasters.
sometimes i feel exhilarating happiness and yet, crushing sadness befalls me.
