How am I ever going to have people read my blog if I never write in it? Huh?
Well however, today I am and I want to talk a little about friendship.
We are still in Turkey in beautiful Marmaris. The weather is amazing and we are getting tanner everyday. We have a great group of friends here and it’s been a long time I didn’t feel so good about something like that. It simply seems like everyone is made to get along with the others. You know how, when you have a group of friends, there is always a certain “she” or “he” (or more) that argues with another “she” or “he” (or more)? Or when some are always bitching about everyone? These are only a few examples of what can come along between friends and also only a generality thought. But sadly, it’s often true…even when the friendship is a good one. Well in our case here, none of it. None. I’m not saying that with time it wouldn’t happen…but we all are in such a good spirit and really enjoying our lives. We enjoy each moment we spend together and I doubt trouble and drama could come around the corner.

People often say that I’m too optimistic about new persons I meet or that I am too naïve. I know that can be very true. But I think it’s so much better to choose to see the good in things and people rather than always be skeptical. Skeptical people often are that way about EVERYTHING. So much that there natural instincts (such as curiosity and fraternity) shut down. They become completely close to all. And to finally see them relax a little is a very rare thing. And fear does it all.
Fear is the responsible for any type of unnatural reactions towards others. A first impression is always important, that is for sure. And we all deal with it in different ways. Only some people just always have bad ones. Isn’t it better to see a sincere smile on the face of someone you barely know? Remember all the fake smiles you where given…and how did that make you feel?
You never loose when you are true with others because it means you’re true with yourself.
Karma it is,
merci for your openness. we are the crazy optimists that keep the rest of the world spinning. tu me manques. xx
ReplyDeleteHooray, you're back! It sounds like you have a delightful group of friends, such a treasure.
ReplyDeleteYou are completely right to be open and assume the best of people because the best will come back to you from most of them. Fear and suspicion discolors everything.
