Another one of those awkward reflections on life...feel free to skip it.
So Sarah and I were talking tonight about how college is so weird, for the following reason:
It's like you have your friends. People who even if you get into a huge fight with them, you know that it will eventually blow over, and that you'll always be friends. In college however, it's all different. You meet people, then comes the bond, and then it's like boom (and sometimes it just be like damn...), they are a different person than you thought they were. As this has happened to me on more than one occasion, it just makes me glad to know that I know who I am, and that I have a solid group of people back home who are all different, but I just know we will always be friends, as we have been for years. I guess I have just learned that even though you may think you know someone very well, they can be a different person entirely. And that sucks. Perhaps that's why I'm such a cynic of the internet romances, or perhaps more guarded around people I don't know very well. Who knows? Don't get me wrong- I'm all about meeting new people, doing new things, and expanding your mind, etc. It's just not what I'm used to, to hang out with people who are so insecure in themselves and keep changing their personalities. It's sad because I believe they (the specific people I am thinking of) are truly good people, but their behavior is just something so out of character from the person you "know" (if that makes any sense). And actions (in my book) are stronger than words. This is just a really senseless mess of my thoughts, so hopefully someone out there gets the point. Love- Alex
