picking your friends

I'm extremely picky when it comes to clothes, food and friends. With the latter though one rarely has a choice. Over the course of four days I made friends with people I wouldn't have though possibilities of friendship. There were experienced writers who knew things about the world and people like me who are still learning. I saw an entire different side to these people who seemed so ordinary at first. The conversations, time spent together they all proved that, you don't need a whole lot in common to connect with someone and sometimes what you do have in common are things that seem so trivial.

“You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.”
― John Green, Will Grayson, Will Grayson

  

In the end though you realize that you can't pick your friends, but you can pick their nose -not literally. When someone asks you, "what's your name?" it can be the beginning of something just beautiful. Know how rain makes everything greener and more beautiful? Friends do that too. Whether they are just drizzles or hurricanes in your life, they'll make everything look better and brighter.
