Right now, I am sitting in my tiny room. Headphones in. Taylor Swift blasting, singing only most of the words right. Sometimes I forget that I am still a teenager, and then I do or say something that tooootally reminds me. I love youth. I love college and this whole environment. It's wonderful having so much to look forward to, so much waiting to unfold for the rest of your life.
I have found, it is the most wonderful thing when you find someone who's personality just clicks with your own. Whether it's a best friend, a teacher, a child, or significant other. It is so refreshing when you can instantly be comfortable with someone. There is laughter, love, comfort, support. I know it is not necessarily possible to have this with everyone, but I have been striving lately to make some kind of connection with the people that I meet. Whether it's to make them laugh, make them comfortable, help them to 'get away' for a time, just listen, build them up, make them feel significant. I am at the beginning of my goal to incorporate this into my life. For whatever reason, I have mostly been a very closed off person. I let very few people in. It's selfish and prideful. My favorite people are the ones that are full of life and things to say and talk with all people about. I want to have this same interest in every person I meet. We can learn so much from one another and teach one another as well, and I have already lost so much time to do that during the years I've been comfortable in my shell.
We all have so much to give each other, and we're meant to do just that. I want to stop thinking about myself, and lose myself in helping others. Many areas in my life will be better because of it, I believe.
On a separate note: my guilty pleasures include Youtube, bananas, and Taylor Swift. Not necessarily all together, or in that order.
