Philia.

I’d like to think I have a knack for finding freaks. Not any random freaks either, I seem to get the outliers within their own spheres. Maybe this is what happens when like attracts like. Curse or blessing, I am not an average of any given population. This legion is a circle of the highest honour where entry is determined by a Darwinian selection process. Kidding! I don’t know how they came to be. All I know is that each one possesses a heart with a strange concoction of idealism and art. Yes, even you Chloe.

Or to put it simply: I have found and built friendships that I hope will last for a lifetime. Entering it isn’t as easy as you think.

They’ll be the ones sitting on a bench with you till the last minutes before lecture starts. Laughing at your silliness. Recognizing you for you. Defining kindness in their gestures. Reminding you what’s worth losing sleep over and what’s not. Ramen and Mr. Tea says:

“Honey, don’t compare them to us or you’ll never date anyone.”

Muffin girl is a phone call away to laugh at the next absurd thing in your life and keeps you grounded. More people should learn how to laugh at themselves, at each other and take it easy. The universe has a great sense of humor, don’t you think?

I know where I belong.

Do not trespass here without the right intention.
