Journal 50: The Soul

I think people don't select their friends but instead just ends up in a certain group due to reasons that are hard to explain. I myself have tried to "select" the people I make friends but it never happens that way for me. I always end up with the ones that I have the most similarities with. Its hard to make friends that have completely different personalities from yourself, because you just end up disagreeing on everything. To hang out with someone who disagrees with almost all your decisions is very hard and nearly impossible. Therefore I believe what Dickinson says is true and that we subconsciously choose our friends. However I don't agree with being unable to change your decisions on who to be friends with. It isn't like if your friends with one person your always going to be friends. Many times you think that people are what you see them to be but only when you become acquainted will you see how they really are and many times that's when a friendship thins out or get eradicated. So I believe there are certain things that you can control and the rest your heart or your subconsciousness controls it.
