Raphael Had To Travel

I'm not even going bother to try finding it this time.

Imagine your world, with all your tasks and all the people you know as a circle around you. The more you have, the bigger your circle. Now, imagine that all the tasks you have to perform, and everyone else's circles are ones that either touch onto your circle at one point, or overlap into it.

I'm not going to lie to you, my circle would be pretty big. As most of the guys would say, it's probably because of my own wide radius. But it's big, regardless of my own size.

Most people stand in the centre of their own circle, and when that special someone walks into their life, their circles overlap, meaning they begin to share the same space. Some people stay in the centre because it's the safest thing to do, they don't like taking risks.

Others run out towards the edge of their circle to do everything, they like to take risks. They also do this for all the other people's circles that touch onto theirs. Hell, they even step outside of their own circles and into someone else's to cheer them up.

Some people have small radius of a circle, and when they do this, it's not as straining for them. They have a tight group of friends. Others that have a large radius who do this, it's tiring. Because they have to keep running around their circle to do everything. It's worse when they throw themselves into a circle that is a task, because it takes the same amount of effort to come back from doing that task and back into their own circle.

Now taking that same metaphor for life, I get it. You've stepped to the edge of your own circle, and even into someone else's circle, but you came out hurt. The worse thing is, you can't tell the difference between that spot in the circle that's touching onto the other circle from any other spot on the circle, so somehow you manage to keep coming back to that spot. And when you're not traversing the edge of your circle any more, you're standing in the centre.

I don't get you.

I'm sick of making the first moves. If you want to make this 'friend' thing work, we have to meet halfway.
