Minus the drama. Divide the hope. Add the realities. Multiply the love. What does this equal? A human. We all have one innate desire from birth. That desire is to be close to somebody and be accepted. As we grow, we put up our guard to protect us from getting hurt while we choose those select few who we trust with our lives. We act like we don't care about certain people and decide to keep our distance, but is that really true? Not at all. Putting on that kind of show just for the benefit of the doubt is just messed up. Those select few who we have stood by are the ones we can easily forgive an infinite number of times no matter how badly they have messed up. These people will never fail to surprise us with their actions, yet we can overlook it after some time.
I don't know if it's just being naive, or the fear of losing people if confronted of their hurtful actions. But I'm learning that those who are there for always, loving you no matter what, are the ones that deserve to be here. The ones who show they love you 24/7 in good times and bad, and especially when you don't even need it. Such strong bonds are created with sufficient time and trust. Sometimes we fight with these people, but it does not change how we feel about them. Yes, fighting makes our hearts grow distant from one another but this strong feeling of closeness is also what brings them back together.
While we constantly feel like we need space, sometimes all we need is the exact opposite.
