Space Invasion

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Before you claim to have been deceived by the title of this post, let me first say that it isn't about aliens, UFOs or gay astronauts. Quite the contrary, actually. If you think that outer space is the great unknown... Heh. Wait till you tread on lands I'm walking on these days. Feels just like rocket science. Totally makes understanding the workings of outer space seem like a piece of cake.

“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, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we’ve chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.”

It's funny how I speak of things and they happen. I mean, I'm not saying that I've got powers that bring me floating cans of Coke or have PB&J sandwiches magically appear when I'm hungry. But more like how a careless mention to Duh Roads over lunch, forgotten by mid-afternoon, suddenly breaks into reality by nightfall.


Can a single frustration-laced gripe of the present
bring forth a sudden turn of events that affects the future?

Hmmm, I don't know.


Looks like I don't know a lot of things these days. Cos I'm swimming in questions. And the answers in my head... They're more than subjective; they're evasive. Tell me...
When is close too close for comfort? When is close just not nearly as close enough? And how can you tell the difference between the two?

Too close for comfort - when you begin to feel uncomfortable around the person, he invades your personal space, doesn't understand limits, clings to you far too closely for a friend(?), etc. So much that you start to avoid him (or vice versa, not sure what your situation is).

Not close enough - this is the safer option, because it makes you want to be around him more, but the uncontrolled desire will cause you to be... *points above* Beware, though, if you hold him at too great a distance, he might think you're not interested. Different people have wildly different opinions on how close is too close, so you have to test the waters and see. Let him make the first moves (I'm old-fashioned), but reciprocate cautiously to avoid looking too eager or otherwise. LOL. :P

Hope that helps... If it seems like a lot of blabber to you (or doesn't make sense), I'll delete this later on. <.<

– What if it's not about your response but about what you receive?
