The Juggling Act

The Juggling Act 

Street Art By Sam3
It can be such a struggle 
Juggling our relationships, 
Within our social bubbles, 
Our friends to us one offs, unique, 
Some social butterflies, others truly geeks. 
Each one interlocking creating 
Pieces in the jigsaw of our stories, 
Sharing in our tears and our glories, 
Yet mix them up, combine,
Give them some time, 
Leave them to mingle in a room, 
Some will find common ground, 
Others personalties will clash, go boom,
But within each, they allow us to feed 
On our need for what they have to give, 
It works both ways its also what they receive.
Friends shouldn't be exclusive, 
Yet true harmony amongst any pack, 
Is rare, precious and usually elusive !

  5. We are not all meant to get along, we wouldn't be so varied and diverse if we did and we'd all be very boring then but, it would be so lovely is we cou;d though.

  6. Some say that it isn't a perfect world so we aren't going to get along. My thoughts are that it is a perfect world, based on the fact that we have our own values, thoughts, preferences and tolerances and that we have a choice over who we choose to interact with. Ideally, friendship would be effortless but like a houseplant, friendship may die if taken for granted, abused or ignored. When we find people whose interests mesh with ours, we need to be sure to feed their needs instead of solely our own. This is very thought provoking. Nicely presented :) Thanks for sharing.

  9. I love this, when I was at school we had quite a small year and all types of people just learn't to integrate with one and other. It was great to see!

  12. Human interaction can be a fickle. Ideas, scents, appearance, audio, all filter through our experiences...those we reach out to and those we recoil from.

    Well done!

    Cheers,
