Old friends

To make place in our lives for people who are important for us. Allow them to move within a certain range of positives and negatives on good and bad days. To be a bit more hyper as usual,or a bit more depressed. Not to expect always the same behaviour from them as we like them the most.

New people

To pay attention. To invite them into our inner lives. Not to feel overwhelmed when they show their weaknesses to us.

To admit to ourselves: because we got to know someone new and valuable, we have to re-arrange our lives a bit that he/she fits there somehow, but it is worth the trouble. This is how we gain new friends. We realize their existence, we let them be part of our lives from now on. And we trust them.
