what we cant control

- the people we come in contact with
- the people we fall for
- the people we impact

i say that in light of feeling that not only i have experienced but many people; people i know personally and just through observation. Its a remarkable thing when you can connect with someone in a purely platonic level and then through random activities your bond becomes thicker and stronger.

what i mean by this is something i call (and I'm sure other people call it this too) "random friendships."

i think these are the best to come by. Granted having a best friend since you popped out of the womb is nice but not everyone is so fortune to be blessed with such a gift lol. me personally having a best friend or a just a friend since i was little has not been manageable since i moved around a lot. That's not to say i haven't had friends (i didn't live under a rock), i made wonderful friends but through my moving around keeping those friendships in tact became a little complicated. But that's not what this blog entry is about. (stay on topic catrina.)

random friendships happen at the most simple of moments. for example i have a friend (we'll call her sally..i don't think she wants her name on the Internet.) I met sally through her (at the time) girlfriend. it was a simple "hi, how are you" kind of moment. Didn't think i' really even hang out with her seeing as i didn't really talk to her girlfriend to begin with. Well they broke up and i though nothing of but "aw, that sucks well you'll find better..blah blah blah.."sally was friends with another friend of mine so through random events we started to hang out together. And by hang out i mean she was just there with us and i would occasionally make small talk as i always do.

long story short we ended up hanging out a lot more with just one another then the whole group. I even have her number memorized! that's hard in this generation. seeing as we immediately store the number under their name and never look at the number again. so that says something!

all I'm saying is, you never know who will come in contact with and where those connections will take you.

nothing is forced....well except for that 4 bean burrito you had last night that is demanding a date with the toilet lol.

so i say to anyone who reads this ... open your arms to all the possibilities out there! good or bad theres always something to learn from the experience!

you have my permission to do so
