Friends are such strange anomalies to me. Have you ever considered how you and your dearest friends came to be? For me, the moment when I solidified a bond is blurred somewhere in a lengthy history with individuals I would never wish to sever ties with.
Now I'm in this strange situation where every day I'm trying to make new friends. I'm in search of kindred spirits, shopping buddies, culture buddies, intellectuals, fellow geeks, conversationalists, and playmates.
What I keep pondering is the idea of trust. How is it that we match up with certain individuals and begin to trust them with our souls? Sometimes, this is not an easy task. It takes years of picking away at a granite block to reveal a David underneath. Then there are friendships that just come easily. Without questioning, the deepest of topics can be discussed. All sorts of friendship require trust. But who are we trusting; the other person or ourselves? Right now, I think I'm learning how to trust myself all over again.
