[my music: Something ~ The Beatles]
So the other day I was at a party and this girl came up to me in her drunken excitement, and was thrilled to see someone from her philosophy class. She proceeded to tell me my name followed by "you're the really negative girl" . . . wow. As if that wasn't enough, she then inquired as to why i was so negative and asked if I had a horrible life.
I happen to feel that I don't view things in a negative manner, but more so a realistic manner. Perhaps it's also my attempt at self preservation, because with these viewpoints, I cannot be disappointed when I encounter love that was referred to as "unconditional" or when I die and don't find myself with Saint Peter up at the pearly gates of heaven.
I also happen to feel that my life is awesome right now. Only a lucky few can find themselves in my shoes. It's 2007, and I find myself a 21 year old healthy individual getting ready to graduate from a University that I love and at which have spent the last 4 years with friends that have shaped my life. Friends that I've made at Quinni and the ones that i still have from home are my life. My family is an incredible force in my life of 5 individuals who are strong and supportive. Further still I have an amazing guy in my life who is so dedicated to me and keeps me happy unlike any other guy i've ever been with, and he does it all from 3500 miles away. I maintain a steady level of happiness and satisfaction these days. So my views shared with my class are in no way, shape, or form a result of any "negative" life.
Oh, that reminds me, today is first official day of something amazing. :D
