There's no bond between people that's quite so strong as
when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.

my friends in the holiday season is to pause
with a long enough quality to actually SEE them.

and am contributing right now to another quality memory.
I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

Trusting - and jealous.
Comforting - and snappish.

or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.
