Stuck like glue
Lately I have been thinking a lot about the bonds I have developed with people in my life. Some are stronger than others, some will last a lifetime, and some will fade. I liken the bonds in my life to glue. Before you find me terribly elementary or super unoriginal, hear me out. Some bonds are held together with super glue; these people will see you though the difficult times in your life when others will abandon you. They have made a deep commitment to “stick with you”. Others are like Elmer’s School Glue.. great for a quick, insecure hold during a crafty project… but eventually can be pulled right off or crumbled between your fingertips. Some may even be smelly like rubber cement ;). Okay, okay. But really… there are people in my life that I know will be around forever. There are people that I know I have bonds with that are unlike any other. No matter the distance we put between us, the bond remains and when we get back together it’s as if nothing has changed. There are people that just “get me”- people I will always share a laugh, a smile, or a look with. I love these people. I am learning that sometimes these bonds are taken for granted, for they can’t be found with just anyone. They persevere through the worst of circumstances. Tonight, that makes me happy.
Note: glue sticks are the easiest bond to undo. Paste never works. :)
I’m in a super tired, weird mood tonight. Coming off the endorphin high from working out.
