Have you ever thought about how friendships form?  This is something I think of on occasion.  How did I become friends with so and so?  How are some friendships stronger than others?  And then there are just some people you just aren’t friends with.

I think what makes friendships work as well as any type of relationship is vulnerability.  You have to be willing to open yourself up, reveal yourself, to establish trust.  If you can’t do this, I think it’s hard to become real friends.  Right..?  Think of all the people you consider good friends, whether new or old, you have to be open to letting people know you and they have to as well.

I definitely have friends that are close and friends that aren’t as close.  And then there are some people I don’t really want to be friends with.  Developing friendships really takes effort and investment.  Investment in people.

Eh..random thoughts.
