STRANGERS

Strangers meet and then they are not necessarily strangers any longer.
They may become acquaintances.
Then they may even become friends.
Sometimes they may even become loved ones.

It all depends on our perspective
as to what qualifies someone
to hold the position in our life that we give them.

Sometimes people will fill a certain spot in your life
that wasn't ever filled before.
Like a B.F.F. (Best Friend Forever)

Or you will meet someone who is a kindred spirit,
a person you can feel comfortable and happy with
as you share things that you are both excited about,
sometimes not even needing to talk,
sometimes finishing each others sentences
or even blurting out the same thing at the same time,

Maybe it is a person that holds a special place in your heart
just because they are fun to be with.
This is the person who helps you get away from it all by being
not only comic relief,but has common life experiences,
and may be a break from thinking about the daily chores of life.

Sometimes a person is special
just because of what you go through together, or get through together.
They may be the only person to "be there" when others aren't.

People will usually tell you
what part of the space they are in
that they want you to share.

Listen.

Not everyone is meant to be
in the same space,
at the same time.

Make an agreement with yourself to be clear
about what you want in a friendship.

If it is freedom, be honest.
If it is wanting a family to belong to...say so.
If you are just looking for fun and friendship,
don't play as if you want more.

This is not about male and female relationships exclusively,
it is about choosing to have people in your life,
and being in others lives,
in a way that is the best for everyone.

When you stay too long in something,
it can create resentment.
Bitterness can start to grow from unfulfilled
or unspoken expectations.

This is also what I call
"Going to get another plate of crazy from the buffet"

For the next 48 hours
ROCK THE SPACE YOU'RE IN
by writing down the kind of person or persons
you would like to be friends with.

Think of the qualities
you would like to have in your traveling companions
on this life journey...

and also think about the personal qualities and interests
you would like to develop and share with others from your own life.

Life can be much better as you get clarity about
what you want,
and begin to attract those relationships you genuinely desire,
and lovingly let go of those which no longer are
or never were working.

Life is too short to simply exist.
Better to be in a space of your own and be content,
than sharing space out of habit.
Rock The Space You're In,
with those you truly want to do life with.

Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,
Joy
