It may seem basic, elemental even....but we don't get to choose who loves us. We don't get to pick from the crowd those who will be the ones who love us and care about us. They may be naturally or artificially assigned (family) or simply people who fall for us...but we don't get much of a say in the matter. People will feel for us what they feel.
Our behavior may affect things...but maybe not. We can act badly if we want people to go away, but chances are it won't stop them from loving us or caring about us. We may simply decide that we don't want certain people to love us and, well, that's fine...but that probably won't stop them either.

Something concrete....
I've been having one of those days when things don't feel very settled, when life feels uncertain. So I was just thinking I wish I had something concrete to hold onto.
And then I thought about that. I thought about the illusion of permanence and the sheer lunacy of putting trust in material possessions. Holding onto something concrete may seem like a good idea, but more than likely it will just result in one sinking right to the bottom.
Better to float on a sea of uncertainty than to drown at the bottom while holding onto "concrete."
