Lines
A huge part of any human relationship with another person is knowing where to draw the lines. There's the friend you talk to if you happen to be sitting next to each other on a bus randomly one day... Then there's the friend you tell your deepest secrets to and see or talk to every day no matter what. There's the friend you can talk to in school but you wouldn't hang out with outside of it. Then there's the friend you occasionally casually sleep with when no one's around. ... Okay I'm taking this too far. My point is you have no know where to place the lines. It's dangerous because no friendship places their lines at the exact same point.. Sometimes crossing a line is what brings you to your next level in a relationship... sometimes it's what tears everything apart. If it were all the same no one would ever fight or break up or stop being friends. Nothing would really happen much. A problem I have is not knowing where the lines go. I'm usually scared to move them forward or get to close to them. When I cross a line I jump over it I think. I wish it were all more visual.. like if we could somehow literally place lines... But wait.. that doesn't make sense. ... This is the point where my blog tails off... disappears in the shadows... fades into the distance... uh, ... yeah...

interesting thought...
ReplyDeletewhy dont you just chat to the friend about where the line is placed at that point in time?
ReplyDeleteIn response to keegan--
ReplyDeleteThe problem with that is the position of the line changes quite often. That and no one's ever truly honest about where the lines are. Plus that could just be an awkward thing to ask depending on who the other person is.
