Somebody That I Used to Know

I was reading this new blog I found the other night and the post was about this girl's recent break up (www.thefrisky.com). It was a long distance one she said so it wasn't so awkward. Then she mentioned Elliot Smith's "Somebody That I Used to Know". She said that it was a sad yet also cold song. 

I never thought of the song as cold, but I guess I can see it now. That's really how life is though. You can't keep everyone. What I mean to say is, you can't be a pack rat when it comes to people. Just like with inanimate objects. It'll take up too much room and pretty soon you have no space left. Everything will eventually cave in. 

So what's the connection between this girl and me? I realized that recently or maybe even all this time... I'm a minimalist. At least when it comes to people. Although, I wouldn't say I'm a cold person, like how the song may be perceived. 

In life, I'm only realistic about one thing; people. Hmm, or at least the relationships you have with people. 

Can you tell this is a shoe??
