Let's .:ReCoNnEcT:.

Recently I reconnected with a friend I haven't seen in a while. And I realized something- for all her flaws, I really did miss her.

She's a good person and sure, sometimes I get annoyed with her. All friends get annoyed with each other. We had a real bonding experience tonight. One thing I can say for her, she always listens. She's never judgmental. I can talk to her about my problems, and I never have the fear that she'll make fun of me. It's so... liberating. It's not like talking to people my own age, who will just try and redirect the conversation back to themselves. It gets annoying.

But then, all people do it at some point. And I guess that's okay. But just once, I'd like to meet a person who doesn't. But let's be real. NO ONE is like that. And if you think you are, think again. You're lying to yourself. Because it's human nature to be self-absorbed. Instinct, almost. You look out for number one and that's how it always is.

And as for me? Well, I can't claim to think about others before myself. How hypocritical would that be of me? But I would like to. How amazing would that be?
