The Ellie Zone - Friends: What they are and Who they come for
WARNING!!!! Beyond this line lies...
The Ellie Zone
This is a world filled with twisting paths and distorted thoughts. Enter at the risk of your sanity.
The topic for today is Friends.
The way I see it, there are two extremes: for lack of better terms I'm going to call them the Rockstars and the Groupies.
As you can probably tell, the Rockstars are the life of the party. They draw people to them. the Groupies are the people who come to the party. They flock to the rockstars.
Now, there's also the in-betweens. If someone is mostly Rockstar, but meets someone else who is more Rockstar, the first someone becomes Groupie in the presence of that person. Likewise, if someone is mostly Groupie, and they encounter someone who is more Groupie, they become Rockstar for the second person.
By now you must be wondering what happened to the wonderful things we call cliques??? Well, my dear readers, those are the subdivisions, or specialties, of the Rockstars and Groupies. For example:
A nerd Groupie will naturally go towards a nerd Rockstar. Likewise punk Rockstars will go to punk Groupies.
People instinctively want to belong, so we surround ourselves with people as much like us as possible. If not that, then family members (mostly pleasurable family members, of course). Then, we seek people better than ourselves, people who are like us, only they succeeded where we didn't. Whether it's in disposition or life choices, they made it through more successfully then us.
Usually the last group are our Rockstars, and we are their Groupies.
Smile,
Ellie The Gremlin
