thoughts: passing through...

To be honest, maybe i've posted about this kind of thing before. But then again we all know certain things just keep coming back to you don't they?

I always used to believe (and probably still do) that i just passed through many people's lives. In the sense that i was just there for a short period, left an impact (of varying degrees) and then moved on. Looking around at the last few years, that's how its always seemed to be.

The friendships i built were built mostly on adversity (not between us but basically the fact that i was there when the shit happened). Its not exactly a great achievement or something to be exactly proud of (considering that probably that when you've got me around things are pretty bad), but i guess that would explain the supposed "closeness" in some cases.

Does this viewpoint of mine cheapen the friendships i've built in these circumstances? well i don't think so. Considering friendship is built on experiences (no matter how adverse). I dunno about the people i've built friendships with in such circumstances, but i do know that usually what i've noticed is that after some point, we drift. contact lessens due to how lives take different turns and routes. but that's how life is, isn't it? nothing ever really stays the same. I guess maybe part of the way things turned out also depend on me i guess.... cos i'm not exactly one whose into maintaining a lot of contact.

but just passing through is always something i've felt. and i know that a lot of the time its true. and i deal with it knowing that being there at that moment when i was needed was something that i just do, and when its no longer necessary, i move on, wandering through time and space till another need arises.


till next time...
