I was being hard on myself because I haven't really established any close relationships since I moved...and I've been here a year and a half. My friend said that he thought it was harder to form close relationships when you're an adult. The ties that bind us (in many cases the huge input from parents/school/etc.) no longer exist. I think he might be right...at least to some extent. It's definitely not as easy because in many cases the situations under which friendships develop don't occur as frequently. Or maybe that's just my experience.<br /><br /><br />You mentioned proximity--oddly enough--the friend I was having this discussion with? I met through the my blog. Despite that fact that we've only met once (he lives in NYC), he's one of my closest friends...I feel like I've known him forever. It's kind of funny. Him being one of my "closest" friends yet being so far away...--V--https://www.blogger.com/profile/07334723278001841915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7975960691860003607.post-60422019959720049962010-03-22T17:29:47.718-07:002010-03-22T17:29:47.718-07:00I like what you said about having different souls....I like what you said about having different souls. All we ever really want is someone who really "gets" us, you know? And it's so unusual to find someone who has enough in common with you that you can even become friends, and yet has the same soul. Because sometimes the people who are most like you in mind don't have much in common in life. and vice versa, I guess. <br />and how you stop being yourself when you lose the friends you were yourself with. I relate to that a lot too. <br />We have a lot in common, even though we don't. :)<br />Kat is cool. And, I like getting to know you too.kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01952260281193686120noreply@blogger.com
