I consider myself pretty outgoing. I also consider myself a pretty nice guy. People tell me these things also, so I'm assuming they are right.
However, last night I was way too tired and started to think about how I've met my friends. My closest friends, who to me are like family members, have all been "arranged" meetings. In grade school, I was sorted into a homeroom. 10 or so other kids were in this same room. I was friends with all but three of those people. I am no longer friends with any of them, simply because I do not keep in touch.
In college, I have made a ******** ton of friends, far larger than what cookie and I would call our core circle. Among the people I know, I'd say Im pretty popular, but a vast majority of the people I know will all but disappear over the summer. I won't keep in touch with them, simple as that.
Maybe this makes me a lazy friend. If I don't happen to see you, I'm not usually going to go out of my way to. So as in grade school, and now college, as soon as we aren't in the same class, they are gone.
This is a sort of the preamble to the main point I'm raising. People disappear, and they do so fast. I don't know if I can define myself as outgoing or not (not that it's pressing to have a definition) because even though I can meet people easily, they won't stay 'met' for very long.
Tl:dr:
So, the point of all of this is here; as soon as rigid structure is removed from life, how many people will you actually get to know. Say your a photographer, or perhaps a mapmaker. How many friends can you seriously hold on to? If you live freely, where every week or month is different, how well can you hold on to these relationships.
It is very late. Goodnight.

I once thought I was the only person who did that. However, I don't entirely believe you in some ways. You've noticed, right, that I'm never the one to call you to arrange things? You always go after me.

Maybe people with jobs like that get used to it; I mean, maybe some people don't like actually getting to know people. If you're always making new friends, you're always in the novelty phase of the friendship and you never stay with any one group of people long enough to find things to dislike about them. That means you'll probably argue with them very rarely and never make enemies of them. Someone who lived like that would go from one place to the other with nothing but fond memories of everyone they met along the way. I mean, it's not really something I'd be comfortable doing, but I can definitely see the appeal and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

I actually laughed.
But I checked online. These are the kind that I shouldn't be worried about. p: They're just small, but I'm still thinking of seeing a dermatologist because I'm kinda surprised at how quickly they popped up. I never used to have arm freckles.

This is because I need your glorious a** to remind me that there are still beautiful things in this world. but, uh, that is also a good point. people i do know well, i see often, and contact often. i guess there is just a very wide gap between my casual friends and my 'best' friends.
