A Reflective Nature

Over the past week I have had nothing to do. Well, nothing of pressing matters. There is my list of goals to accomplish, but as far as commitments go, it has been very low key. I like that. It's the way break should be. Over break I have started realizing a paradox that exists within my personality. I am a people person. I love to meet new faces and enjoy getting to know new people. At the same time though, I keep a tight circle of friends who I would take a bullet for. This seems odd. I feel like I'm good at letting people into my life, but maybe I'm not. It is kind of funny to come to this realization, but it could be because those friendships have stood the test of time. The kind of friendships where you can finish each other's sentences and know exactly what the other is thinking. I would like more of those. Perhaps I need to branch out more.

I have also realized that I am a very low maintenance person, which I am a-okay with. I don't really need much to make me happy, nor do I enjoy pop culture that much. I enjoy movies every now and again as well as discovering a new band or artist here and there, but I largely shy away from the Hollywood-esque nature of our society. Perhaps it is because I consider it superficial or maybe it is because it doesn't appeal to me. Either way I would rather spend my time picking my brain and learning what the world has to offer. (That is not to say following pop culture is a bad thing.) I'm slowly learning how the world works and who I am. Or I at least hope I am. If not, then I guess I can't complain. I have never been happier with my life and hope I can still be a positive force for good in this world. Is that too much to ask?
