Circumstantial evidence

: evidence that tends to prove a fact by proving other events or circumstances which afford a basis for a reasonable inference of the occurrence of the fact at issue

What does that have to do with anything? Everything.
Everything has to be seen within circumstances in which it happened.
You can’t truly understand anything without knowing what led to it’s becoming.

And as usual I am, mostly, talking about people and their mutual relations.
On Erasmus you can see that the most.
People who wouldn’t even speak to each other under the “normal circumstances” now are best friends. Girls and guys that don’t even live in the same “world” back home are in more healthy relationships than they ever were with someone they are actually compatible with.
So how did that happen?

It’s simple. People need people. And people are able to adapt to the situation.
So when there are no “first choices” they make the most of what they got.
But don’t be mistaken. It doesn’t mean that their feelings are any less true.
The catch is in that, that they know “this is not the real world”,
which means most of the things they would mind in a normal situation don’t really matter.
Their relations don’t have a future, and by knowing that, they become far more flexible.
In these relationships fights don’t even exist. Fights are useful when building long lasting relationships.
No future to build, no fights.

So enjoy your temporary relationships as much as you can because when you think about it, they offer you a chance of having pure feeling again, like when you were still a kid. When your criteria for friends was that they make you laugh, and for “boy/girlfriend” that they are cute.
And if you are not in the situation like this, learn from it.
Ask yourself why are you so choosy ?
Does “that thing” really matter ?
Why not give it a try ?
