Seattle
"judge not a man by what others say about him; judge a man by what he says about others." -- S.Walk
Basically, just because everyone says that someone is cool doesnt mean that they actually ARE.
Overall the trip to seattle has been a success. We bought a beautiful house, i've made amends with some people in Seattle, made new connections with others. I miss home more than i can even say, but in a few hours i'll be waking up and getting ready to take a plane back to Orange County.
I realized last night that one of the things i hate more than anything is when others are constantly talking trash on someone else, and then being nice to their face.
Falseness and pretentiousness.
It irks me when people are pretentious, but when they're unattractive in pretty much every sense and STILL manage to behave in a pretentious manner -- now thats just annoying and doesnt make sense.
I fear that Seattle is not going to challenge me to grow as a person. I hate to feel stagnant in the evolution of me. I dont know, everything seems like ive been there before. Like i've already experienced everything this city has to offer. But im still a little excited to experience it -- maybe i'll learn something new this time around or see something i never saw before.
I had a great day with my family tonight. My brother came down from Vancouver and we spent the whole day together. I woke up from a dream about ______ where we were just hanging out as friends (funny thing is, i woke up laughing). I got a text/call from K____ and that was really nice. I miss her. I miss all of my friends.
One thing i do promise myself though is that a year in Seattle will not change me. I will not laugh at jokes that are at other people's expense when they do not deserve it. And if i do dislike someone, i refuse to be nice to them to their face and talk trash to their backs. If theres anything that i respect about the people that dont like me, its that they have the balls to dislike me to my face. I appreciate that.
Anyway im really tired and have some serious digestive problems at the moment (damn you butternut squash soooouuup!!) so ill write more later. Peace out.
