Friends are the undergirding of all that is good in my life.
July 25, 2019
All human interactions result in the birthing of those tiniest of threads between individuals, web like connections that may gain substance and strength over time, or not.
Connecting with people is the most complicated, takes the most courage, and is the most terrifying of endeavors. Everyone has experienced rejection. No one likes it. We are all scarred from it. You must be sure of yourself, clear about who you are, and confident if things don’t work out, you can walk away not feeling totally defeated.
Even if you own those traits, you may think you know what you truly want. But you likely don’t know at all! You may think you do, but you really never know how you’re going to feel until you begin to interact with a person.
There may be chemistry, strong chemistry, but as people reveal their personalities, that chemistry may morph into genuine interest and a much deeper attraction to the person as a whole. In other words, you begin to bond with one another. And isn’t that the magic of it all?! Isn’t that why we keep putting ourselves out there? That’s what keeps me in the game. Seeking those serendipitous connections. It’s magical. No other term for it. And I find them. I find them. And it makes it all worthwhile. Truly.
