A blog's here. Here's a blog. I'm gonna post my existential foray of earlier today right here.
Of all my friends, the friends who live near me and i physically see often and the friends i talk to online often/whenever i can, there are a few who i really do 'connect' (hurrah for overused cliches) with.. i see myself and everyone else as having a unique culture, the way we think, the way we act, what we wear, what we like and don't like (and why*), everything that makes us who we are. the friends that i do connect with tend to be those of similar culture to me, similar thought processes, ideas, likes and dislikes.. they definitely arent the same as mine, but theyre close.. similar.. these are the people i'd much rather be around if i had to choose.
* there are people who do what they do, act how they do, wear what they do, and like what they do for different reasons. some to impress, some for themselves, some for comfort. if people want to change their culture to impress, let them, it's what they want. if people change their culture to be comfortable, let them, it's what they want. it really doesnt matter to me their reasons for doing what they do, but i find i only connect with those who it feels like are doing it for similar reasons as i do. I used to be one to try to be everyones friend, a long time ago.. now i do things more for myself than others. a lot of people will call that selfish, but it's not as though i don't help other people, im creating the culture of myself that suits me, my own likes and dislikes... the clothing most comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to me... the music and films that appeal the most to me - i might cop a lot of shit for my likes and dislikes, but its copping the shit that makes me realise that i am doing it for me, and nobody else. I'm not saying that i don't like to be appealing to other people.. i like to be appealing to the right people, and the people that i am appealing to are the right people. my friends are my friends because of me, and i am friends of my friends because of them. (i hope that made sense)
-end existentialist foray-
you know, i don't think that's an existentialst foray.. oo look a butterfly! *wanders off*
