Today was a great day for me.
Not only did it get me out of the mundane cycle of life I had allowed myself to fall victim to, but it showed me that real friendships are possible.
No, not the ones that you think are real, the ones that get you caught up in the whirlwind debacle which in the end leaves you sprawled out on the ground alone. No, the ones that are time tested. The ones that you keep coming back to time and time again.
Its amazing that so much time is spent focused on the male/female romantic relationships, when really, basic friendships are so much more important. With them a person can feel so loved, appreciated, valued.. All feelings that people search for, long for..
Without them, it may cause a person to want those things so desperately that they settle for less in their romantic relationships just for a chance at feeling just a little loved, appreciated and/or valued. When, if they had healthy social friendships, they would know they were not alone and would be able to spend more time searching for what they really want in a partner without feeling that they are missing out, and without the constant societal pressure to not be alone..
And this was realized over a nice dish of Thai… Which reminds me, Pok Pok is a must try for anyone who is ever in Portland.
