The one about friends
Not the show! I'm thinking about communities that are brought together by common connections...Perhaps vocational, perhaps because of shared passion or purely by life's coincidences. Friends.
I was thinking how good my friends are to me and for me. Lately I've been finding lots of good 'spaces' and my friends are an important part of that.
I think friendship's odd. I've found out about balancing power, trust, shared experience, common ground and goals...but these relationships are really odd.
It's possible that this is the mushiest goo I've ever written. But, as you keep telling me, good is good too. Why is it that darkness seems so much cooler? Perhaps we need better language for goodness.

Thanks to my friends for gaining my trust. I know that isn't easy. And thanks for constantly giving me reason for allowing you to keep it.
Thanks for trying to be transparent with me. I'll keep trying to be transparent too.
Thanks for sharing both your joys and your pains. Thanks for celebrating and crying with me.
Thanks for your advice, but mainly for just being there.
And thanks for trying to get on with everyone else that I consider my friends!
