An Arrangement

Early yesterday morning I was heading to my shelter as usual. 22 below zero, it was blazing cold for me: the sleepless night right before wasn't even the last straw.

Yes, it's great that you could cheer her up. And it feels special to be cheered up by a stranger. I'm afraid I won't fully explain myself, but when a stranger offers you help or kindness with no expectations in return at all it kinda makes you change the way you look at life. Yep. It is amazing.

Yes, and it's meant to be something far more profound then just being nice to people, observing consumer culture banalities or following the accepted standard of speech. What I really like most of all about it, is the power of creation, of being the first to start and make a drastic change. When combined аnd lovingly interrelated with what's behind, when done outwardly - it just has to be integral to really work marvels ( ... )

Once on their own, he or she is naturally entitled to making the most of their contact list and social ties as they please. A sound and sensible person is originally very able to choose his or her associates. We pick a soul mate of ours out of dozens, thus detеrmining our life quality: what we are and where we prone to belong. That's how our self-concept, entourage, status and the very way we follow further on are formed.

Meanwhile, someone else is coming around, making the first step. It's a good idea to keep in mind we are not the one-and-only, we are to be chosen or not really, we are to be subjected to a choice of someone else out there anyway. That's purely a subject objectivity thing as far as being ready for The New is concerned. The trick is to gang up what is ours with what is coming around. To take off the blinders and keep on knowing your limits - that's the catch.
