Personal Journey Pt. 2

[the_magical_boy]

This week, I've been paying closer attention to myself. I've paid closer attention to my interactions between people--physical interactions, not this online stuff--and I've learned a few things. It's ironic that I see myself best in the people that I know the best. It's also ironic that I learn about myself the best when I don't share common

Those who you have the most common ground with serve as reflections of who you already are.

Those who you have less common ground with serve as reflections of who you could become -- and you can choose what you will become.

You know, last week, I did something completely unexpected. One of my colleagues at work invited me to his show at The Brooklyn Coffee and Tea House in Providence. I figured I could use a change of pace, so I went and had more fun than I expected. I may go to more of his shows.

Anyway, that night I met people I haven't seen or talked to in months--some of them years--and realized how different I am from them. It was refreshing, in a nostalgic kind of way. I always wonder why I drifted away from them. Maybe I should look them up and spend some time with them.

It's good to not have common ground -- it's room for exploration.

It's good to have common ground -- it's safe territory to work with.

Being friends is a wonderful thing. I've never minded it, although the feelings that developed got in the way. I want to remain his friend.
