The 1 day friend vs the forever acquaintance

It has never failed to amaze me, how sometimes we can live our whole lives knowing someone but he would remain just an aquaintance whereas we strike it off on day 1 with someone we meet at a supermarket , or at a party and that is the beginning of a beautiful friendship that lasts a lifetime.

Often it is just a circumstance or a reaction that slices off that first protective layer and allows us a glance at the person below that. and... we fall in like...whereas with acquaintances our protective masks are slapped firmly on and we are armed with every possible guard against bad weather . But So are they!

So the question we could ask at this point is do we really need to be sooo careful bout what we say, what we do and how we say what we say.. I guess it all boils down to the comfort levels that one has and how well the thought processes map out!

Cheers to all my 1 day friends!! Could'nt live without you....
