It's not you, it's me

I never considered friendships as fickle things.....and I still don't. But I believe high school friendships can't be anything but fickle, considering for the most part the only thing you all have in common is that the social hierarchy of your school decided you would all be in the same social group and so you are kind of forced to be friends. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. High school friendships that can last all through college without falling apart through exposing their illegitimacy are stronger than you could imagine, and also few and far between.

I guess the biggest shocker is realizing after so many years that the friendship you once had with someone was completely based on superficiality. What makes it worse is when you realize that all these years when you thought you were thinking clearly and logically you missed this crucial fault over and over again. Why do some friendships turn into obligations? You know you are no good for each other but yet you stay friends. Why? Because it's been that way for so long? Because you'd feel like a douche saying it's not working anymore?

Things are getting pretty exciting

I missed all the AIESEC activities this weekend, but first coach group is less than 2 days away, waking my ass up at 5am to bike in the freezing cold is over, I finally learned time management, and I'm getting $12/hr to do what I would pay someone to let me do.


All in all... Life is good.

The Mysteries of Life...

Impossible to believe in until you realize them. And even then, they could be right in front of you waiting to be seen but still invisible to the eye that refuses to acknowledge them.

We're told they come in a wave like an epiphany. But what we're not told is that they are not only difficult to see, but difficult to hold on to. You think you've got it figured out but the truth is you can look away for a moment and find yourself as ignorant as ever.
