All of a sudden, I’m wondering about friendship. Specifically, about when the last time I could actually – comfortably – say that I had friends. Not someone else’s friends. Not acquaintances. Not co-workers. My own genuine friends. People who wanted to spend time with me, for me, and actually did. People I could talk to about shared interests.
I’m not ungrateful enough to think I’ve never had friends. Of course I have. I remember the times. But I was much younger then. The “world” was smaller.
And maybe I do now. Yet… I’m hard-pressed to think so. I mean, truly believe that I do.
This random thought reminded me of that quote:
”No man is an island.”
Which led me to think of the movie ”About a Boy” (no, it wasn’t Jon Bon Jovi who said that; it was John Donne). And that made me smile.
So not a pointless random thought after all. At least it didn’t leave me completely depressed.
