The List

Friends,  they are among me, everywhere. I am  there for them and, sometimes they disappear when I really need them. They tell me all their dirty lil secrets and sometimes I can't help but  to share some of my own. They always seems to be a phone call away. I can't help but wonder, after seeing the new Facebook homepage 'The List' that I put my friends in, whether I want to or not. Something about google plus  has got me thinking in terms of "Circles", pun intended. Anyways not to stray from the topic at hand,  I will now explore the options that my friends fit into. I have, the right time at the right place buddies, the shopping buddies, the work buddies, the drinking buddies, the acquaintances and  the very close friends.

I truly believe that these people are in my life to enrich it and to help me grow.

1) The Right time at the right place buddies: Do you ever have a person in your life that just happen to be at a place when you really need them? They somehow don't fit into my personal everyday life. I don't have their phone number. I ask them the same questions again and again. Questions like "where do you live again?" "how old are you again?" "what do you do again?", and so on and so forth. I literally know nothing about them other than the fact that they hang out at the same bar/restaurant/library/bookstore etc at the same exact time that I am there. Conversations are usually very friendly and the more I see them the more the subjects become personal. We talk for hours, but if it wasn't for the location I probably wouldn't have  known this person existed. My close friends don't know them and I feel kinda weird and really don't know how to introduce them if I see them elsewhere. Its okay. Everyone at some point have that person in their life and if for some reason you get embarrassed because you dont know how to introduce them to your actual friends, don't worry. The relationship is mutual, just remember, you are that person for someone else,  and just leave it at that.

Sincerely,
Sleepless.
