taking it real slow...

once again, i learned that something genuine and natural can never be diluted by neither time nor distance... it's like having that special connection with someone where you can pick up where you left off... as if, the time that have elaspsed since you last conversed was just a few minutes ago whereas in reality, weeks have passed wherein the closest thing that can be considered a conversation was a glance or a slight tip of the head to acknowledge one another's presence...
in this time and age where careers and personal interests pull a person in several fidderent directions all at the same time, it is comforting to know that i have someone who i can sit down with and watch as our lives unravel before our very eyes... even just for a little while....sitting by the sidelines and watching how other people crazily do their damndest to keep juggling their balls up in the air...
no frills, just talk... or sometimes, silence is enough... words sometimes have a way of distorting the real message that we want to convey to another person... words are just too complicated for human beings to use when they want to express something important.... the best thing to do is to listen and to observe... the best form of communication.
our mouths lie too damn much...
one just has to be more keen... watch the subtleties... it's all there for you to see... the gestures that are manifested long before they have time to check themselves in midway...
i like where i am right now... and i am so thankful that i did not pace myself so fast to get here... because i know that i could've missed out on a lot... im thankful for the slight ambiguity of my place in this world... for the lack of a definitive label on every little entity that i involve myself into...
everything's worth, especially the value of friendship, can only be tested through time.... and im certain... there are no shortcuts....
