I've been thinking about a few things today. Some of which have been said to me. Some of which are just my own wandering thoughts.
One is
ZOMG I'M SO HAPPY FOR PATTY I CAN'T EVEN D
EAL ASDFGHJKL: AND QWERTY AND THE LIKE.
Sorry. -tips hat-
-wasn't wearing hat-
The level of excitement and happiness I hold for this deal is so much it's as if it were for
me or something. xD
I'm so pitiful. xp
ANYWAYZ.
The other is the comment I hear more and more often now of "you shelter yourself."
Here is my response to this.
No.
I shelter myself, perhaps, in the only sense that, I don't actually go out 'looking' for things to become 'unsheltered' by.
I'm naive when it comes to a lot of sexual/perverted jokes. That's one I leave to simple 'I don't think that far into things like THAT.' I'm simply not that perverted a person.
Sorry?
Teenage ish like drinking and drugs and the like.
I'm not exposed to drinking. My parents don't drink. We don't have an ounce of alcohol in the house other than rubbing alcohol, if you'd like to count that.
I don't
hang out with people who drink. And if I
do, I've never hung out with them
when they were drinking.
I don't care to do it, I don't see the immense importance,
I don't need it.
-shrugs- Is that really so much sheltering myself and not just making a personal decision?
As far as drugs are concerned,
I don't WANT to be exposed to that. Is that really sheltering myself?
Or just being me and being happy with the way things are? The way I work. The way I like living my life.
I'm sorry that the D.A.R.E. program actually had long lasting effects on me.
As far as relationships go;
can that not just be that I'm not the kind of person they happen to that often? I don't need to physically be 'hooking up' with an individual to feel loved or as if I have worth? I can't simply be happy with myself?
I didn't know that.
As far as not knowing that teenagers worked this way,
well that was a fault on my part. You see, the way I work, is the only way I knew, up until a point.
When something is all you know, you don't think of something
else. That makes sense to me, at least. -shrugs-
And as I've only recently begun to learn that others didn't work the way I did,
a lot of things that the human race does
tend to completely surprise and perplex me.
If this is what one would like to call 'sheltering oneself', then I have no problems with it. Because I am happy with how I work, and how I think, and how I live. How I function is how I am. I'm not exposed,
because I'm not looking to be exposed.
kthnx.
Hah. So that was my ultimate thought on that.
My last thought I will make vague.
And it's more of a question than a statement, but also a statement, that I've been thinking over for a while now.
I tend to make way for other people, because I want them to be happy. I stand aside and let them have their moment. I want them to. Even at the expense of mine, because truly, I'd rather they have theirs.
But at some point I wondered about what I wanted. And wondered if I should ever let myself have that moment.
And then I wondered,
does that make me selfish?
Because it feels that way.
