So I'm stuck at home, probably missing my lectures due to this weather. I'm not about to battle my way out to the busstop with the torrential downpour at the moment, so I intend to take advantage of this weather and work on my Stats project and Developmental Psych essay. At least I'll be getting some positive work done for my course. :)
Hopefully it will ease up enough for me to head in a little later. :)
Hmmmm
What else to talk about. I've considered trying out internet dating again. It was a bit of a laugh last time, but it's either that or join a particularly irreputable university group. :D At least this way I should be socialising with people more my own age.
Not that I wouldn't go out with an 18-25 year old, but the chances of long-term compatibility are likely to be low. I'm talking about needing to meet an exceptional young person who is mature and capable of putting up with a fuddy-duddy like me.
So instead, I'm aiming to meet someone who remembers Knight Rider when it first came out. :D Well, maybe not Knight Rider, but you get the idea.
I did have some deep and meaningful topic in mind when I started writing, but it seems to have escaped my brain, so I'll talk about friends.
I value my friends a lot, and often worry that I don't show it enough. It was the aid of my friends and their kindness that really helped me through quite a rocky patch of my life a few months back. I don't think I say thank you enough.
So to all of you (you know who you are) thank you very very much. You all mean a lot to me.
Friendship is part of what life is all about. Some people will tell you it's about money, success, comfort... but I disagree. Life is about experience and connecting with others. Friendship is a valuable thing that helps us to survive the hard times and appreciate the good times. What value is money if you are alone? What point is there to success if nobody else celebrates it with you?
That is the paradox of being human. We are both social and solitary creatures. We strive for independence, and yet crave contact.
Which is why I feel that to fall in love with someone, friendship needs to also develop. Someone once said that the line between friendship and love is but a small step. Ironically, so is the line between love and hate. Yet hate is still a connection, hence the three being so similar.
I made the mistake of pushing that line a couple of times. That's where experience comes in - experience allows us to make good on our mistakes and improve our connections.
So here I am hoping to make some new friends and secretly hoping that one of those friendships might lead to love. The thing is, this time, to not push the line but be open to the natural flow of things.
Maybe I should become a buddhist... :D
