Bad Ratios and High Costs

Oh the bleak transience of it all. Save for my immediate family, no one on God's green earth has a 5 year plan involving me. We are but a network of ancilliary characters in our respective narratives and it is heart breaking. Which connections will stick?

A wise man once told me that 80% of the material covered in high school will never come in handy, but that you cannot tell, at the time, what 20% will prove relavent in your life. I would imagine the same lesson holds for relationships. I guess I just have to value them all for the time being and see which ones will be at my 25th anniversary. I got a few in mind.
