Week One

I never really think about who I am, I just am. I like writing and thinking about stuff like this, because it allows me to learn about myself. Sometimes I need physical words on paper or a computer screen to come to a realization of things.

No matter what people say, they're always interested in themselves. And although I've known myself for 22 years, I know I still have much I don't know about my aspirations, fears, strengths, weaknesses, etc. I think that's part of the reason I don't have a specific vision of where I see myself going after I graduate. Then again, maybe my unanswered questions are just a part of who I am.

I am an optimist. I try to find the good in people. I believe that life is what you make of it. I think that things are as bad as you make them. I have faith. I think that if you don't have friends, you don't have much of anything else. I know you have to laugh every day of your life to be healthy. I always try to view situations from more than just my perspective, and I don't mind admitting that I'm wrong. I always try to take the high road, but my immaturity still has a voice. I haven't come across much adversity yet in life, but I'm waiting for it. Knowing that, I realize that my ways of thinking about the world will one day be tested.

I guess that the way I see things in life dictates how I handle all of my relationships and dealings. I don't stress too much, or I don't think I do. I know that things will always work themselves out. However, I try to be active in making sure that they will work. It just makes sense that my attributes and personality quirks mirror my decision making process. And it has worked out O.K. for me thus far.
