Helium
Light, floats away, nobody can hold on to it.
Only 1.2% of people are Helium. (estimated)
If you're Helium
You don't bond. Not out of coldness, you are simply already somewhere else. People find you funny, weightless and slightly out of reach, and they miss you the moment you drift off.
Helium is the only element that was discovered in the Sun before it was found on Earth.
How to get along with Helium
Do
- Enjoy the company without expecting it to last all night.
- Laugh with them; lightness is how they show affection.
- Let them leave early without a guilt trip.
Don't
- Don't try to make them commit to a group, a plan or a scene.
- Don't take the drifting personally; it's physics, not judgement.
When it goes wrong: Push too hard and they simply rise out of reach. There is no explosion, only absence.
