I Know You
Oh no you don’t
No matter how long you’ve known someone, or how close you are we can never actually and totally ‘know’ someone I don’t think.
Because who we are and what we believe, think, feel is a constantly changing thing heck most of the time I doubt we even know ourselves well enough to tell someone else.
It’s not easy when you realise those you held most dear can become strangers in a matter of moments, strikes me the only way to handle it is with acceptance, tolerance and the understanding that you are the only one you can actually stand a chance of understanding.
The old advice of “just be yourself” thats what really counts. It’s so easy to get lost in trying to be someone else or be what you think others want when in reality all you’ve got is you and thats more than complex enough to require a life time to figure out.
Thats not to say be selfish, but just don’t be afraid to stick to your guns and relax. It’ll make both you and those you deal with more at ease.

I kind’a agree, we’re in constant change, even me (so afraid of any kind of change) and it’s impossible to get to know each other to the point of predictability…that’s the fun of interactions I guess… our ability to hit comfort zones and the ability of other’s to surprise us
I couldn’t agree with you more. Have you decided what you’re going to do about Xanga?

Not really sure, I’m aiming to stick with Xanga as long as possible. And I’d be tempted by Xanga2.0 if it happens, can’t really say many other sites tempt me :/ maybe something like bliphoto or tumblr.
What about you?
@meddwl - Yeah I think it’s a good thing, but it can be alarming when it dawns on you.
