Tone Loc's in da house...
Word to your mothers. True, I have been busy finding the new med schoolers a house, and thanking my lucky starts they got in.. not that I was surprised... I can't promise I will enlighten any of you too much with my entrees, with the books I read, the shows I watch (the OC is on tonight) and did anyone see Lost last night? or my thoughts or views on much anything.... but who news maybe I will surprise myself. I am not sure how I feel about the whole depression discussion... I guess maybe because it hits close to home. I have always felt like I may be one of those people whom could benefit from pills but always just been scared. Scared that I would get used to them and maybe scared that they would work. I have learned too to be in control of my emotions or atleast to mask them... which is what I am better at. Do you ever wonder if anyone really knows you? Or just knows the you you wish you were... Or are trying to be.
Anyway I better go back to "work." True friends are a very rare luxury and the only way to have true friends is to be a true friend. And enemies are just friends who have done you wrong.

Can everyone really handle who we really are..??? Or do they just prefer looking at us through rose colored glasses.
As long as you are trying to be who you want to be, there's no problem at all in showing others who that "ideal you" is. The most notable people in history, the movers and shakers, and those who leave the longest impression on you are usually people who are shooting for the "best them" but aren't quite there yet.
Society deems that the "real" us is not what anyone wants. So onto the stereotyping. We as Americans find it more comfortable to label someone, and put them in a box. If you leave a box, or the norm you are a wierdo. I think that the easiest thing for any of us to do is to listen to ourselves. Listening to what the popular majority wants you to do is very detrimental to the ability to freely think. Just be who you are! The people that are supposed to be your friends, should and will handle that. Don't walk around with fear. If we do then we miss most of what is happening around us.
Just a quick note to say welcome to the blog. Thanks for the post!
I think you all are right, you have to share and Lindsey is right.. its hard to be honest with yourself but its the most important thing. We are our our own best friends. But I believe in order to really know someone you have to open up but I think you also have to listen above and beyond. We all have lines to read between and sometimes when we open ourselves and we arent understood and listened to then we stop showing whats beyond the surface and that is when people stop knowing who we really are. If you want to know whats under the surface you have to look.
