#thinking about friendship today and who i consider 'friends'#maybe i'm sometimes a bit too generous with the term#friend 1 (Squish E for those keeping track at home):#hadn't seen me in person in eight months before the company party last month#but there was some sort of bingo card piece of paper going around the party#with various characteristics listed on it and you had to put down the name of someone who had one of them#and he put me down for 'can sing really well' and i was half-drunk by then and said omggggg#and he loudly announced to everyone: cosmo is an amazing singer! have you heard her music?!#friend 2: i've known her on and off for years and she messaged me today saying#'did you end up fb-adding that guy james i introduced you to?'#'i think he maybe added the wrong cosmo - he seems to think you're a singer?'#and i responded 'uh yeah... music is like... my main thing in life? did you seriously not know that?'#and she went 'haha i thought he must have the wrong person! i can't imagine you as a musician! do you really sing?'#and i said 'i sing and play guitar and write all the songs myself yeah 😂'#and guess what... i never told either of these people about the music part of my life#i just have the link to my musician page displayed prominently at the top of my fb profile#so it's incredibly easy to find if you... y'know... have the slightest modicum of interest in me as a person#and are interested in learning more about me - interested enough to ask e.g. 'what is your greatest passion in life'#to which i will usually answer 'music / songwriting / singing'#so anyway. exhibit A vs exhibit B. aka maybe true friendship vs... not true friendship lol#in other news i love and appreciate Squish E#even if i never see him anymore :(#friendship#cosmo gyres#personal
