Intimacy

A good friend of mine a few days ago was having this interesting discussion with me about friendships. We were talking about reaching a crossroads where we had to choose a friend to continue the journey with. We made it hard on each other by making all paths have people who seem to be the closest to us...how would we choose? I found this question to be a difficult one but in a moment of clarity I made a choice. I chose the person who knew ME the best. Someone else could've chosen the person they have the most fun with. Not me...in that moment of clarity I realized that I wouldnt want to choose a path with someone whom didnt know what made me tick.

I think we all seek that kind of intimacy in our close friendships, love interests, and family ties. Having someone make fun of your silly habits and thoughts is amazing because it means they took the time to get to know these habits and thoughts. They took the time to observe your actions and understand why you do them.

Hehe that explains why girls always melt in the movies when a male interest points out small things that they do. Its a nice feeling to have someone know you like that and understand you so well.

I hope you all have such an intimate relationship with at least 2 people in your lives...its truely a blessing :)

Intimacy - a close, familiar, and usually affectionate or loving personal relationship with another person or group
