"You make acquaintances, friends happen."

Wise words told to me last night. Friendship has never made sense to me. I want to be able to break it down, dissect it into knowable chunks, be able to make a theory of friendship that accounts for causation and functions in a predictive manner.

Not realistic.

I've always believed that I was bad at making friends. Maybe that's because it isn't possible to make them. The friends I have, I don't know how or when we became friends. I can't break it down into easily labelled categories or stages. 

We just are.
