Thievery Corporation
(The Killers - Spaceman)
Last day in MN. Today I took from the hotel...
Shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, lotion, pen, pad...and wait for it...the tie hanger and 9 bars of soap. They left the storage room open so I grabbed me a handful. Sadly they didn't have slippers in my room this week.

Had a discussion with a friend a few days ago about how friendships aren't as static as everyone thinks it is. In fact they're very fluid and dynamic. As people go through phases of their lives they reset their priorities, their interests change. This in turn impacts their relationships with other people. You meet new friends, you lose old friends. My question to you is this...how much of an impact does history have on a friendship? Can you base a friendship purely on the history you've had with a person? I don't think you can but I'm open to hearing any arguments.

I'm convinced foreplay for snapping turtles has to be the definition of living dangerously.

I think history has great impact on a friendship, but at the same time, friendship can't be 100% based on history. You've got to still be able to "connect" with the person - have some common interests, be able to understand each other as you grow, etc, and not just talk about the "good old times" every time you get together. And you've got to make an effort and want to make an effort to keep the friendship going. That being said, you might be separated from your friend through time and space for some time, but the test is, once you're back together again, it's like you just hung out with them yesterday.
So if history isn't enough and the connection is lost...do you try to fix it?...or do you let it go?...at what point do you walk away?
You can try, but the other person has to try too. I don't know that there is a set limit as to when you decide to walk away, it's just when you've had enough and you don't think things are getting better. You can also have a conversation with that person to see if they'd like to continue trying to "make it work" and see how that goes.
