Aquaintence (Apr. 20)

Lets face the facts, there are a limited number of people in your life that you will be able to develop a good strong relationship with that will last over time. It will depend largely on both parties ability to communicate over long distance while maintaining the same level of closeness that is so hard to foster outside of close proximity. At the same time we should all be thankful for the other people in our lives that we will have a good relationship with while we are living in close proximity. They are still people that have a large influence in our lives and shaping us to who we are and who we will become. They are the people that we get out and do things with and the people that create some good memories in life but perhaps do not know every detail of how we think and what we like. At the same time they are the people that are there in the present to be present and in turn act as a present in our lives. Later in life there is always the chance that you will run into these people again and you will be able to catch up on life and where it has taken both of you and it will seem just like old times but the reality is that time and distance has not been the same as those other close friendships. Still it is so valuable to have the aquaintence in your life, you would be bored with out them.
