"...to bring about that happy life..."
It seems everytime i visit this blog is when events in my life have fluctuated. I mean i guess that's the purpose of this blog, to keep people and myself updated when things change in my life. But theres more to it I think... this helps me express things so much better and I hope to look back at these posts some day and be able to learn from them. Yes I'm still a kid (behold those years where we would adamantly deny being kids). I'm still maturing and Im constantly changing as a person. And thus, I hope i cna develop into the great person i always wanted to be and still leave for myself things I personally desire.
One year in America is nearly up and I'm going to be away for the entire summer. I now reflect apon those 9 months and I can see a real personality development. I've become alot selfless and have worked towards my own goals and aspirations. Perhaps endorsing the American mentality of self-satisfaction (don't get me wrong, i love these people more than any other culture, but this is how they are). I've perhaps lost abit of that selflessness and reliability that makes peope come for me for help and I've become a little more blunt, abrasive and dislikable. Thats the balance i guess, trying to become the best you want in yourself and trying to be the best you want other people to see you as.
I've perhaps achieved so many goals since I've been here and have socially advanced myself in ways that i've always dreamt about. I'm not going to lie, I'm atop the social and academic game here in college and i'm leaving some of the people i live with behind. I guess that naturally draws resentment towards me. Which is understandable i guess. But sometimes i feel like people think I've become this stuck up person who thinks he's better than anyone else (i got my first personal hate post on juicycampus.com). But I really don't think i've ever done or said anything to intentionally convey this persona. It is my misunderstood nature i guess... that striving for bigger and ebtter things and trying to be above everyone gives off such an air. But I hope people will eventually realize what is really going on here.
I think the one biggest thing that has changed in my life is the closeness i use to share with my clique of people. Having always the ability to call one of them up when I have issues and just talking and going out and having fun together. I've lost that. I could have just called someone right now instead of posting this but i really can't think of anyone who understands me enough to call and talk through. Its not a great feeling. Its a lonely feeling but i think the one thing that prevents me from sinking in depression right now is my fraternity life and meeting all the brothers and having fun with them. None of them are realy what i'd consider really good friends but its only been a month and I need time. Time mends and sculpts everything. So i'm optimistic (for once!) that things work out.
Addemendum: Its Greek Week so I hope us Delts kick some ass and win!
