I find it interesting the number of people I am beginning to see more clearly. As I have entered the college world, I realize that the friends and contacts I make here will be the ones I depend on for the rest of my life. So, I attempt to be a little more critical of the friends I chose. Not in the judgemental sense, but instead in the who-are-you-really sense. Just to see people as they are and not as they tend to act. It's amazing to me how many people are posers and how many posers are so well loved. It's seems to me that many people I know and I am meeting have an issue just being them. They pretend to be interested in certain things to fit a mold that is acceptable in society. They dress and act and talk and behave the way they believe people want them to. I notice all this because I want to meet good quality people. I have a suitemate who is the epitomy of herself. She doesn't really care what other people think of her. She isn't out to be loved and accepted by all, and it is amazing how well we get along. We both just want to hang out and have fun and meet new people. Image is no concern when I am with her. And I love it. Why have I not found people like this before? Are there more out there? Why is everyone hiding from himself? Are people too ashamed of their personalities to just be themselves? I will continue to investigate these questions, and if I ever come up with an answer, I will let the nuTang world know. I am me, and I am ok with that. I want to be no one else; I don't want to be another plastic person. And I have a new definition for plastic. A plastic is one who must fit into the mold. One who does as the above does. I will not shape myself to be like the crowd. I will be me, with all my imperfections, and because I choose that, I will be the happiest me that can ever exist.
