There's this, girl, whom one'll call Mademoiselle, one really don't know about her; at least not that much. She had her own inner circles, and one isn't one of them. She had more friends than one do when in high school, that's for sure; for one don't have the ability to form circles while she does.

If relationship is the goal, and it is unattained, and it breeds remorse, do one still aim for relationships? The Stoics suggests we detach from our emotions, to be in control, not be controlled by them. If we choose not to be hurt, we won’t be hurt. Appreciate a friend who greets you today; appreciate life if not. If we can only control our self, how do we meet others, when others passively wait for others to greet them? We can only be active.
