Here’s an interesting observation that I’ve recently made. Like this morning recent. As I woke up recent. Lately I have had people wanting to do things with me. Well, that’s actually not a new thing. What is new about it is that it’s becoming an exclusive thing. Meaning when someone wants to see me or do something that involves me, they want it to be only me and them. Not really a group thing, but a solo one on one thing. More than one friend has said, when we get together I just want it to be me and you (I know, not great grammar).
I sure it’s flattering. Or is it?
If I had a really limited amount of friends maybe I wouldn’t mind. Don’t get me wrong there are some friends that I would love to spend that time one on one. However, not 100% of the time as then it seems like they’re compartmentalizing me or something to that effect. Or could it be they are being possessive and want any attention all to themselves? I guess I don’t understand why it’s beginning to become very prevalent right now. Maybe I’m feeling it more because I’m looking to expand my circle and not shrink it?
Who among you have this going on? Are you being singled out by your friends to do things one on one all the time? Are you someone that does this to others?
I understand that it’s a great thing to love yourself, but when you want to hang with a group of friends and some of your closer friends aren’t interested, it does make you wonder. For that I am dedicating a tune by Keb’ Mo’. His tune Love Yourself is a crafty little ditty. It was a couple of summers ago when I first heard his music outright and I was so impressed I went right out and bought the music. Ah, the blues when done right.
He’s a powerful live performance with a command of what he does. I gotta wonder if his fans or friends are possessive of him and his time. If you get a chance to see Keb’ live, do it. I don’t think you’ll be unhappy for it.
