I’ve never had that many. Acquaintances, sure. But friends? Real friends that you can share everything with? That you know are there through it all? I have a hard time opening up to people. It’s not something I feel comfortable doing. I prefer solitude. Always have. Always will. It’s hard to break that pattern when you’ve been alone most of your life. Keeping in touch with people, for instance. I suck at that.
Linda is one of those people who has managed to slip under my radar. It started off as... I dunno. We hung out sometimes. We had fun. But we were never close. I can’t say for sure when that changed. I honestly have no idea. All I know is that, today, I could never be without that friendship. Sometimes we don’t see each other for months, but it doesn’t matter. There are no strings attached. I know she’s there. She’s one the few people I can sit across from in complete and utter silence without feeling that I have to fill that empty void with useless chit chat.
You know how rare that is? To feel that way?
If that’s not friendship, I don’t know what is.
There were so many things I wanted to say this past Saturday, but of course I choked. Instead of the most awesome speech in the history of mankind, I fidgeted with my hands and said something close to yadayadayada happy to be part of your day and then I sat back down and continued to eat my dessert while swearing under my breath.
That was so NOT what I had in mind. Not at all what I wanted to say. Crap.
It doesn’t matter, I thought to myself later that night while dancing my ass off and spilling a drink all over my shoes.
It doesn’t matter.
This is what matters.

Thank you for sharing, it's hard feeling that way not knowing if it's common or if you're the only one being strange and not having friends. I work like that too. Sure, I talk to a lot of people, but none of them are close to me. I've never had best friends like other people do, and sometimes, I miss it.
I have someone now though. We live far, far away from each other - different continents and all - but when we meet, it's like no time has passed. I love it <3
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful girl, as always, good job ;)
Thank you so much! For the kind words AND sharing your thoughts. :)
Vilken underbar klänning hon har på sig, helt fantastisk.
Eller hur!?

Puss
Moooaaah!
Det där var jag som skickade en slängpuss.
I can relate to this. I'm like that, I don't have many friends and there are only two that I feel I can trust and can share everything. And like you, I'm a photographer and really love it. But I worry for my lack of social skills. As much as I like to be by myself, I miss people and I worry that I'll need them but then they won't exist. I wish photography or whatever your passionate about could replace people. But it doesn't
So true. You should email me - I want to see your work!
Jag är övertygad om att du förmedla det du ville till henne då och där, här och nu.
