Familiarity is such a comforting thing. They say it leads to contempt and there is such a things as too much of something. But at the end of the day its familiarity that lends us that warm and fuzzy feeling in this ever changing world..
Like that warm blanky that you always slept with, or that cushy pillow you would guard more fiercely that anything else!
No matter how old you are, no matter how stupid you get (:p), the thought of such things always bring you that much needed feeling of security and comfort.
On a particularly irksome day when you talk to an old friend, a good friend, there is a certain sense of deja vu, there is a certain bridging of physical space which makes you smile.. It could be something your friend says or does. To me, thats familiarity, that feeling of warmth re-created all over again...
A feeling I can retain for the entire day and play it over in my head to get me thru crazy days..
Its very comforting to know that no matter what, some people don't change, some behavior patterns don't change. That goes for me as well as people around me.. And thats a good thing. Because you don't want certain things to change..
Whether its how a certain friend is quiet protective of you
Whether how goofy a friend is at times
Whether they have the capability to talk non stop nonsense..
Or just plain and simple fact that no matter what or how crazy their lives are, there are some special people who will always take out time for you, who make that effort to talk nonsense or chit chat for half an hr every few weeks or so...and when weeks go by without any chat, send you 1 liners saying - "I havent spoken to you in a while, remind me to talk to you" :)))))))
