First impressions are pretty significant. How one presents him/herself sets the tone for how the other party perceives you. Humans are tricky. We can have a great first impression and the more someone learns about you, they realize how that initial contact might have been skewed.
I've learned to not have expectations for people. It's a calling for disappoint and failure. It's better to just take things as they are and to not figure someone out.
In the end, I can only blame myself.
It's all so tricky. I can't live without and I can't live with.
Happy new years. A friend brought a good point. New years is just another day. It's another date and it's really nothing special. New years happen all the time: birthdays, anniversaries, back to schools. It's simply another year to count. It's not like you wake up on New years and your problems are gone nor do you start off with a new slate. Another year means, another year gone, another one starting. It means time is running out. It means crap I'm this old. It means shoot what have I done so far. It means crap I don't know what to do next year.
A year is a blur, and at the end of it you only remember 'important' occasions: graduation, trip to vegas, when you broke your arm, when your aunt got diagnosed with cancer, and maybe you're GPA for the last quarter. Another year past means those memories become consolidated and stored in the 2009 filing cabinet. Another year gone means it's time to move forward.
