Its alwasy an experience having my old friend come to town. She is a really cool gal, with a good head on her shoulder and a good heart. Yet every time she comes down and hangs out we tend to fall into the same duldrum topics and conversations.
She tends to get very emotional and nostalgic. She tends to portray that she does not know what is going on at times and just gets flustered.
I sympathize with her but the bottom line is that she just vents her ass off.
I usually just sit there and listen and add my two cents here and there but this past time I decided to test her.
I throw out thoughts and jabs to feel her out and like usual go a bit overboard but I think that works to our advantage. I say that becuase she seems to get her priorities straight when she is put in the theoretical corner.
I assume it helps her see the bigger picture just like our last new years encounter helped me to see.
Some times I try to explain my actions but I only end up backtracking due to misunderstandings so I rather just write my thoughts out and let her be.
I will just leave with a message for her.
"Welcome to the Club."
PS. What club is that you peeps ask? The people that know what they want club.
