to maintain a certain level of calm indifference to most things in life. Not in a bad way mind you more of the "things happen for a reason and the only thing to do is make the best choices to keep moving forward" or to quote John "Let it be". Damned if that ain't tough to do sometimes, it really sucks when ya find someone who seems really interesting, whom you apparently have a lot in common with and your friend request gets declined

I try to be a good friend so their loss perhaps

I say all this humorously tongue in cheek really, but it does suck. Ah well qui sera sera I suppose... Thanks for bearing with me on my rant and have a great day
