It's really hard to defend one friend from another friend, so i won't. I've tried it before, it's always tricky territory

Relationships between or amongst people should be autonomous, self sustaining and unique. If they are not, they either need work, or it is not an authentic relationship, methinks...

The beautiful things in life is all that is real. If not, one would do best to shape and reconfigure their lives so that all that is beautiful is real. Real and dynamic. Dead flowers are lovely, but they are dry, fragile and con rapidly become dust. My beauty rests in the margins of the ubiquitous. It's a tough beauty that can take a few blows and will fight back if you don't watch out. It is a force all of its own. Yet, yet, it remains as small, frail and potentially dangerous as shards of glass.

Mixtapes/Cellmates is a good articulation of real friendship in my eyes...

There is a subtle difference between dead flowers and dried roses...Roses are one of the few flowers that dry without just withering. Be honest, name one truly beautiful thing in this world that isn't fragile and that isn't a step away from becoming dust? In any case, something beautiful doesn't die, it's a dry rose, it's still beautiful, just in a different way. Your beauty is shards of glass, it can hold its own to a certain extent. My beauty is a rose...dry, still green inside, in a vase, on the bush, hung, clipped, arranged...it takes on different forms depending on where I am. I won't go into too much detail on that metaphor though, perhaps some other time.

I have yet to find a good articulation of what I feel I am missing yet, I am blessed enough to have friendship though, and for that I am most grateful.
