Wrestling with a feeling
Jun. 18th, 2010 03:06 pmThere are people I know, who are mostly on the outskirts of my life who I would like to bring closer. It can be a very challenging thing to try to maintain everything you have now and to attempt to increase the amount of time spent with those people. Sometimes distance, sometimes schedules, sometimes just sheer lack of time can be crippling blocks to this sort of thing.
That doesn't even get into the 'what if they don't actually want to know you better' portion of the program. What if they don't see you as worth the investment of time.
I started writing this thinking about a certain set of people and now I find I'm thinking about an entirely different one. Huh.
That and, oddly, this bit of my life right now is much more comparable to the Sims than I ever thought could happen. It also comes back to the fact that I'm just no good at reaching out to people some times. My overexposure threshold it much higher than most peoples but so is my 'I miss you' levels.
Hrmmmm.
