it's interesting how everyone grows and changes. it's also kind of scary
tonight we had our house meeting to go over important details about living in the house this year. and of course, it involved tears, and a little bit of anger. steve would say "i'm glad i'm not a girl"
the tension in the house is somewhat palpable. granted, i'm not here all that often, but i definitely feel a lack of connection from some of my housemates. which is tough, because it involves different personalities, idealities, and just general outlooks on life.
obviously, all people change - it's just depends on what level. personally, i feel i'm different than i used to be, but not so that i'm unable to communicate with the people of my past. steve might argue that, however, considering today he pointed out how bitter i was about people scorning my decision to go to the U of M (i was telling him how funny i found it to be when these same people came back). It's true though, I do actively avoid most people i went to high school with, although I feel it's mostly because i hate engaging in small talk.
the situation i'm currently in...dealing with someone who has drastically changed since the last time i saw him/her, is nothing new to me. although, hopefully i'll deal with this a little better than the previous times - but right now seeing a different way to handle it is quite difficult. the "irreconcilable differences" is a cop out and i refuse to result to that.
so i guess i'll just try to take it as it comes, and be understanding. i hope.
