everything in the whole world.
hello!
family. yes, family. whatever connotation you generally associate with that word, I hardly think anyone can deny that a feeling of true family is one of the best in the world. yes, families are messy and complicated, and sometimes it feels like they're not worth it.
but they are. oh, they are. because your family helps you when you can't help yourself, and your family will be there even when all your acquaintances lose track of you. and I'm not necessarily talking about biological family. a family is where you feel at home, loved, and supported. it's the best, ya know?
Ok, apparently that paragraph was allergic to capital letters. Not too sure what happened there...
I am a person that is very self aware. I'm usually aware of my actions, thoughts, and motivations (as a general rule). I've been making a lot of self discoveries, especially lately, but I struggle with these newfound ideas/realizations. Usually I want to share them. But who to share them with? God already knows, and of course is there for me. But I always want to tell someone - "Hey, look, I came a bit closer today to figuring myself out!" However, when I share a fact or recent revelation about myself, too often I find it disregarded or misinterpreted. I present treasures (in the form of discoveries) to unsuspecting people, and this is what gets me in trouble. I expect them to rejoice with me! To be happy that I've realized this new thing. But instead they normally end up telling me how to fix it, or completely ignoring me. This frustrates me. Silly, isn't it?
That paragraph was completely self centered. Not sure what happened there, either.
I enjoy people. I hope I make new friends my entire life. It mystifies (sp?) me that I can "make friends" with someone I've known for years, because we never actually knew each other in the first place. They are so many precious people in the world. I want to know them! Unfortunately, sometimes you have to weed through the people that are not worth your time before getting to a gem of a person. Not saying that everyone isn't a special, wonderful, creation of God, but not all are meant to be your very best friends. I would much rather make the effort to better the lives of a few friends than slightly affect the lives of countless acquaintances. High school relationships can frustrate me because they are so superficial. Is anyone really out there to get to know other people, or to gain popularity and acceptance by the crowd? I hope to learn how to be a true friend.
So many things to write about, so little time.
Goodnight, dear blog.
