Confession

I feel like it's cheating when I write to my friends instead of talking to them on the phone or in person. When I write down difficult things, not because I can't say them, but because it's simply easier. I don't mean things like arguments or passive-aggressive notes or breaking up with someone, but just telling them all the deep shit that's going on in my life.

And I worry, all the time, that I'm a well. My friend, K'Fain, came up with this method of classifying people into the following categories based on bodies of manmade water:

-Kiddie pools-not very deep, not very wide, but fun to splash in every once in a while
-Wading pools-can talk about some semi-deep issues (politics, gossip, etc.) and hang out together.
-Pool-Some depth, some shallow, a decent mix of a friendship.
-Olympic-sized pool-people who are varied. They are very deep and very wide, showing a broad range of knowledge and information. They expose almost everything. While they sometimes hang out in the fun, shallower area, there is a lot of depth and takes a lot of effort to stay afloat.
-Wells-Not very wide, but incredibly deep. They keep taking and falling and showing how much depth they have, sucking out all the fun and lightness in a relationship. You can't play in a well, but you can become trapped in the tunnel.
