The Life and Times of S

Don't stand so close to me.

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing about invasion of personal space and privacy and boundaries and this thing where we keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other is really all just bull.

So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to. And once we've chosen those people, those few people, we tend to stick close by, even though we may never tell them how we truly care about them. No matter how much we hurt them and no matter how much they hurt us.

The people that are with you at the end of the day. Those are really the ones worth keeping.

And sure sometimes close can be too close.

But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, despite all the complaining about it, can be exactly and all what one really, really needs.
