Space Between: The Continental Drift Theory
April 21, 2008Nope, this is not a lesson on Geography and shit.
Because, the internet is fckd up and we can’t chat properly….This post is dedicated to D–the one who always "end up being alone". D—-always the guest never the VIP. I feel for you, eRr. I think its time that I return the favor. NO MAN is an island, daw.
You know what, you’re not ALONE, per se. You have J. Try to remember that I’M THE SINGLE FRIEND.
I’m the third wheel.
I’m the plus one.
Hehe. It feels good actually.
Moving on. Sometimes, friendships grew apart even if you try hard to stay part of it. I guess it’s part of growing up. I guess it’s part of learning.
Based on my experience, friends come and go. They come when you least expect it and vice versa. Friends who are real are like glue. They stick. Friends who are not fall off.
They sometimes drift. They drift together–like the continents.
Maybe because they know where to go–they go to the same direction–opposite from where you are comfortably sitting.
Why do they drift? 3 things.
1. It’s my way or the highway.
We no longer jive. The psychic connection has been temporarily or permanently disconnected. We cannot agree on the same thing anymore. Hypothetically, I think it’s just adjusting to new experiences– to new realizations.
2. Issue Tissue
There are issues waiting to surface. Yet, we supress them. We just turn a blind eye. We erase the thought of a possible fall out. We get scared of unleashing the beast. We hide the skeletons in our closet.
3. THE F word
Faction. Just like division, the group is cut into half–the leftist being the cause of the break up. When the group is big, this is inevitable. Take it from my experience.
Whatever the case maybe, it’s one of these three things. It’s sad but sometimes you just have to look at it this way:
It’s better to travel alone than with a bad companion.
It hurts when you want to cherish and preserve the friendship. But if all effort has been exhausted and all has been said and done, letting go may be the ultimate solution.
I’ll leave you with a song from one of the favorite bands–The Dave Matthews Band:
excerpt of Space Between:
Take my handCause we’re walking out of hereRight out of hereLove is all we need dear The space betweenWhat’s wrong and rightIs where you’ll find me hidingWaiting for you The space betweenIn your heart and mineIs the space we’ll fill with time The space between

gahd err. i end up teary eyed after reading this. if i werent in the ofc i’d probably cry till i can no longer stop. there’s just too much hurt im feeling. worse part is i have no one to confide in, no shoulder to cry on (well except jay who’ve probably seen me in my most down moments). I know i have you err but u see there are times when what i want is someone who’ll BE with me, right here with me.
u know me err. as much as possible i stay happy even when while whining a lot about things. i deal with my problems alone.
if only i had control on when to and not to feel bad… i tried to understand talaga. i tried not to feel any hurt so that i could keep the friendship, but this didnt do me good. it turned me now into a bomb waiting to explode. for now i try to hold on to what is left to move on silently. i just feel so down err. thank God, you’re here (though u’re there), as always. thank you for last night. i really needed someone to talk to, badly. it’s funny thinking that although there’s these miles apart space between us, i feel na u’re even closer to me than them, that u’re here with me not them. Sad but true.
Thank you so much err. i love youuu! friends for keeps! No falling out!
…and i end writing this teary eyed,
because I am in the office.
Ill save the crying for tonight.
Para may punchline… ACHTUNG!
