My friend believes that I am a schmooze. She has informed me of this and details my schmoozing exploits to our acquaintances. Still, my ability lives on. The point being there is a short list in my mind, a quick listing of people who I truly believe I get along with because we have compatible personalities. This compatibility has nothing to do with intelligence (as many on the list are much brighter than me), age, gender or romance. When you are younger, you’re prone to believing that you are the only one who feels as you do. You assume that your struggles are unique to your situation, tied strictly to your existence. However, as you grow older, you realize that your mind set is not unique, but merely limited. I guess what I’m saying is that I’m grateful for this realization and appreciative of the friends I’ve met. My goal is to maintain relationships now and experience what it is to live within this realization for more than as long as it takes to blog about it.
