It's been a long time since I've blogged. Mostly because I was part of a really good friend of mine's Senior Dance show that went up this past weekend and barely had to to think about thinking really. But that doesn't mean that life doesn't continue to happen- cause it sure does. I will though that I have had the most interesting couple of weeks. Some people have surprised their way into my head and my heart....but I'm suck a stickler for old habits. But I said once that this was the year for growth...so grow I will try. I have a tendency to shut down my emotions when things just don't turn out for the best. But this time...I have surprised myself a little bit.
The thing I have noticed about Oberlin is that there is a tendency to over think, and over jump EVERYTHING. Whatever happened to taking something slow? Better yet, whatever happened to not being awkward and "jumping to the gun" so to speak? When it comes to relationships- why are we so quick to 1) fix it and 2) skip necessary steps? I mean relationships of all types, not just romantic. Honestly, I have just been witnessing too much confusion in so many individuals. Rushing into friendships, beds, relationships without first getting to know yourself. Is there something about our generation that compels us to just "pass go and collect $200.00?" In this age of technology, it's amazing how much we are seeming to lose all of the inherent, communicative, and interpersonal engagements sometimes. (I understand the irony of writing this in a blog where no one can see my face). It becomes interesting what one takes for granted when it comes to how relationships start and develop. This isn't to say that I know even a little bit about anything. But I think there is something to be said about understanding what you need to do first before you engage with someone else on any level. Me time before We time.
