your mark on life

I only know people who consider friendship to be unimportant. They only hang with relatives.

 

True for the most part, but for half of the year we live separately and revert back to full hermit status.

 

me too!! definitely. :2thumbsup:
but us thinkers can't help but think! it is our curse...
but my original post here was really more about feeling......

cool! it is a good way to be, weaving patterns...
my best friend is like that, quiet and in the background a lot. like a big presence that has a small footprint!!
i love to get fully engaged with somebody like that too, one-on-one conversation. it sort of builds up below the surface and then just happens.....

i love it! life and joy and happiness!!
i tend to be very protective of people... i can understand why your friends want to protect you, they appreciate you and love you so much!
it is too hard to see somebody so effervescent and full-of-life get hurt.......

i wonder if we sometimes really need to protect the people who have qualities we are lacking, but qualities we love and need??
those of us who are protectors anyway.....!
