Islands

It seems that people are indeed island - a world unto their own. And friendships are but bridges between them. That could explain why some people can't become friends - they're just too far apart, worlds apart. But even if they weren't, they have to be both willing to bridge their gap. Both will have to start building from their own side to set up a good foundation and meet halfway. If only one did the building, it wouldn't matter how strong one's foundation is - one would still not be able to reach the other side before the bridged collapsed.

Bridges are too narrow and flimsy to connect two different worlds. That's probably why even friends cannot be on the same level plane most of the time.

Different worlds. Different islands. Different views. Different cultures. Different people... I truly am alone.
