some happy things

[echo_11]

I've been thinking about someone a lot lately, a man I was seeing for a while. unfortunately things turned sour and I chose to just distance myself from him instead of dealing with awkward and uncomfortable encounters. I often wonder if perhaps I was not too quick to flush him away, even though I don't suppose that really matters much now

I have a friend like this. It's been a long time since I can remember letting anyone new get that close to me. Like any relationship/friendship it's ever evolving and I still have days where I push away hard. Fortunately he's patient with me and understands that I don't open easily and talks/walks through it with me.

It will always depend on the offense and the severity, but from my experience (at least my attempts in the last year or two), if being with someone makes you happy, the risk can be worth another chance.

I don't rely on anyone, ever. I've always been lone. But having the closeness of that kind of friend has been enough to help me remember what an amazing thing small comforts can be. Soothing is a perfect word.

I think you and I are probably very similar in the way we are guarded against that kind of closeness. this is part of what makes it so incredible. I don't think this is the kind of thing I have ever let happen. it just sort of happened while I wasn't paying attention and then one day I noticed it's there... it is truly amazing :)
