Of life and such.

Merlin and I often talk about how it would be if we both were to live and work in the same city. He always whines about how I would be too busy with my social life to spend time with him and I always gloat about how I would have a really happening social life compared to him, no matter which city we are in. We both know that isnt going to happen. And no, I'm not talking about the bit about my social life. We will probably never be in the same city. Atleast not for the next many years. Merlin has known me for 10 years. Much has changed in between. People come, and people leave. Some stay, for varying lengths of time. Just earlier today, I spoke to Jack and reminded him that I've known him for a full year as of yesterday. We laughed about how we have managed to endure each other for so long. Especially given how unusual the circumstances were, in which we met. Princess left for New York, and I miss her. We will meet once a year. But I wish to meet her more often. I might fly there next summer, but who knows where life is headed. The Rajput and me have lost touch. Again. Thrice in the span of 8 years. The last break in communication lasted 2 years. The last patch of communication lasted about 16 months. Someday we might cross paths again. Or we might not. I will do my part. As I always do. People often say I do too much. Some say I'm needy. Some say I have low self esteem. Some say I'm clingy. Some say I'm a good person. Some say I'll hurt myself. I dont bother to justify. To others or myself. I usually put in my share of effort in keeping in touch or keeping a relationship alive. I believe we meet very few people with whom we can share a connection. And a huge ego isnt going to get in the way of me trying to preserve it. I think life deserves that much.
