New Friendships

the thing about new friends is... their new. these friendships can be filled w/ awkward silences or "where did the time go?" moments. they are very delicate, and you have to be careful not to break them because there isn't much to bring you back. so you cant go invading their space and surprise attacking them like you do your old buddies. but to ignore them is to say they dont matter to you. and they can be created in many different ways. two outcasts drawn together by their loneliness, a school project w/ no choice in partners, mutual friends, and common ground and so much more. some of these move on and take different paths, a best friend or a boyfriend. but some stay there, like a mutual agreement to say hi or nod in the hallways, copy assignments, or work on group activities together. and some just fade, maybe b/c you lost your footing or moved or changed crowds and simply lost touch. I love new friendships. these infinite wells of possibilities.
