the sound of white.
things that i am coming to realize about myself:
- i am great at having one on one conversations with people. i love to go out to dinner or to coffee with someone and have a great conversation. small groups work too, but one on one is where i thrive.
- i am an encourager. i find myself continually encouraging people. whether it be on a lesson that they are giving, or a test they are studying for, or even a nap they are taking, i always wish them the best on it. with that i'm trying to be good at following it up later by asking how it went.
- i am still the same person i've always been. how so? mostly with friends. it took me a long time to figure things out with the whole friendship thing, and even though i am more secure in it now than i used to be, i still have similar tendencies that i think are left over from it. i bounce from group to group, and have this feeling of never quite getting into one group all the way because of all the bouncing that i do, or the late entry into a group of friends. like now i have 4 places that i hang out, with 3 different groups of people. 1. tower apartments. 2. college ave pod 201. 3. my house downstairs. 4. my house upstairs in my room. it still interests me how little i have actually changed over the years.
things i'm working on:
- i am trying to take more chances. they tend to relate to one part of my life but i feel like the chances i take in that part carry over into other parts. it's really been the last few days that i've been working on it and i've done well so far. however, i feel a point approaching where i'll have made the effort so much that i'll have to stop because i can't do all the work.
other:
- i have lots of things that i want to happen in my life. i almost always wonder when those things are going to happen. i feel them approaching, but i'm still not confident enough in those feelings to know if they are true or that something will happen.
- i have also begun to ask this question to some of the ladies that i hang out with: when did it become a bad thing to be girly? i mean really. when did it? when i act girly about some issues i feel stupid, but i'm not actually being stupid, i'm embracing who i am and how i think. i'm not the only one either. i've experienced other friends feeling lame/stupid for acting girly since i began to ask this question. and it's not a point of when being girly is stupid (over analyzing and such), but at what point in life did it become bad/stupid to be girly? i don't have an answer, but i'm actively looking and asking whenever it pops into my head.
- i'm currently enjoying listening to missy higgins. i put her in the cd player in my truck yesterday, and i've felt like listening to her music ever since. must relate to how i'm feeling/ what i'm going through at this time. or some other reason along those lines.
i really need to go to bed now. i'm tired, and it's getting late. blah. thankfully classes tomorrow should be easy, and then my week is almost over. hope tomorrow is at least half as good as the last two days. if it is then it'll be another great day.
i don't know what to expect next. and on some level i'm okay with that.
