Are You Thought Of?

People think about other people, people meet new people, people play with people, people love people. So much of human interaction is wonderful, but what happens when it is over? When each person is home and reflecting on themselves and those around them. For all the good relationships do, they often bring anxiety to people's lives. Humans are worrisome creatures and when they face unknowns thousands of possibilities pop up into their minds. These potentialities can be hopeful or frightening, happy or sad, but are always there. When two people create a friendship they can only guess how active of a person they are in their friend's life. When alone they might occasionally think of the other, and even wonder if that person ever thinks of them. It can feel impossible to ever gauge how much you are in a person's forefront of thoughts. It is impossible to read their minds, to see if they think of you when you are not there. Despite each person's individuality, there are common traits found almost universally. If you yourself, think of someone else, they probably think of you too. This thought is not some rare, weird, or even relationship defining thing. Humans can have many friends, and those people do not disappear from their mind. Each time a person thinks about a friend or even acquaintance, that person in thought most likely has also thought about the original thinker. It is not rare, but it is nice. Humanity does not forget, people pop up into everyone's mind, and the mind they pop up into, then pops up in someone else's mind. Humans are connected, together, social. Human's think of humans, each and every person is in someone's mind, maybe not seen in the same way as one would expect, but they are there. Every time you think of someone, know, you will be thought of.

A short interlude, a reflection, an idea.

As idealistic as what I said above I must make a comment to what pops up in my own mind. This piece originated from my own belief and thoughts about people. I truly believe if you are thinking of someone there is a very good chance they think of you too. In general, friendships are not one-sided, and each person is important. It is not uncommon to think of someone, and thoughts follow a limited exponential scale based on how close the people are...ie: two best friends will think of each other extremely often, compared to even fair friends.

Why I am writing this undertone though is because this is not always true. I do not want to forget or attack people suffering from bad friendships. Things can be one-sided and that is always a possibility, but most of the time it is not. And most of the time each person is in the others thoughts.
