I am the way I am, 'cause I am the way I am. The ultimate tautology.

For me, honestly, there is no real explanation.

Have you ever...

...stopped to ask yourself if at some point in time it'll be necessary to loose yourself of the friends you've "always had"? I am wondering if it's completely possible to maintain stable relationships with people you've been friends with for a lengthy period of time? I can't help but also think that this is probably a similar thing to ask when considering the concept of marriage.

People are supposed to grow and change together...right? What if they don't...like on their own? Is it your job as friend to help them grow up as you have? Or do you leave them behind amidst their stagnancy?

If you find yourself growing apart from your best friends...at what point do you break up with them? Or do you try? Do you think you could have grown so far apart that nothing is salvageable?  Or does that reflect your lack of trying...I dunno...lots of thoughts...

I see glimpses of the friendship that I know should still exist, but it seems like it moves too fast most of the time for me to take a picture of it to keep forever...or to even anchor it down so that every day after will be just a fruitful as the one before it/ I'm in between a rock and a rock, and a hard place on either side...and at the same time the ground is collapsing beneath me and my escape route is simultaneously disintegrating daring me to make a quick, fast decision.

Too much to think about and no one to sort it out with.
