feeling better
I'm going to make a little play on a post that BC, as he is known, posted the other day. He posted about soulmates and how he believes that people have platonic soulmates and with this concept i agree whole heartedly. I want to dive in a little deeper.
It is very interesting to me the friends you meet and make along the journey of life. And some of these friends you feel so close to. You would do anything for and likely have. Then why suddenly have you not heard from them in months. And you arent necessarily losing sleep over it. You arent mad at them. But you also havent written them out of your life. Could it be that at this time in your life they dont have anything for you? There is no need, so for that you arent close. It isnt that you cant count on them. Well, maybe you cant but you dont know that because you dont need them. And they dont need you. So you've drifted apart. Obie kabie... its the way life goes sometimes.
And then... on another end of the spectrum... you have made a friend in an unlikely way. Here and there you comment on each other's life, give advice. You are unlikely friends, not extremely close but friends none-the-less. I would like to tell you a story about this friend of mine. i've never met her. She in fact stumbled on my LJ once, how i dont know. She was interested in all the random things that happened to me in my hollywood life. It was a lifestyle she couldnt imagine so she had fun reading me LJ. One day she spoke up. She didnt want me to think she was a stalker. She was just a young mom who lived vicariously thru my LJ's. I never felt threatened. We became friends. And when i've really been down and out or feeling blue, she's always lifted my spirits. In fact, my last journal entry was a bummer, i know. She spent who knows how long researching mommy and me groups in my area. She just wanted to help me out. All this for an unlikely friend she's never met. Ok, so is it a stretch to call her a soulmate... maybe. But, someone sent her to me i'm sure. And for that i am thankful. :)
