I am a preregrine falcon that has just flown a hundred miles nonstop...
Burnt out
I definitely think I've been involved in too much over the past few days. I've been doing too much, way too much; work, grad stuff, driving back and forth, partying, etc. And it all culminated in me waking up this morning at 11:45 AM, missing work, and feeling pretty much like a great big piece of doo doo. I always do this to myself...I do a million-and-a-half things and I'm totally running on fumes by day's end. Goodness, you'd think that I'd have learned a thing or two back when I was in school...guess some things never change :) Apparently I'm pretty tired...
Getting to know you...
I visited my little twin star last night and we got into an interesting point of conversation...which basically boiled down to getting to know people's pasts, and being judge. I for one, am probably one of the biggest proponents of trying my best NOT to judge people by what they've done in the past, which is funny because a certain situation I am currently dealing w/ has to deal w/ holding one's past against them. Anyway, so I never hold people's past against them...well almost never...but hey, I'm human, I'm allowed to make mistakes...I never said I was perfect, and if I did, I must've been drunk or something. I don't hold someone's past against them because I, for one thing, try to treat people exaclty as I would want them to treat me...I would hope that people don't hold my past against me...because I think our histories play a very important role in determining who we are. If not for our pasts, the person that stands here today wouldn't be the one standing here. And I think in order to truly get to know someone, you HAVE to know their past. It is what has made them them, truimphs, failures, mistakes, the whole 9 yards. And it's a joke if someone doesn't want to know another person's past...that's just my personal opinion of course, but I think there are some out there in existence who share that same opinion. Because by not wanting to know about someone's past indicates something, that this person either does not want to really get to know you, or they are afraid that they might find out something that they won't like, and judge you for it. True relationships are unconditional...w/o boundaries, w/o judgements...so next time you run into someone who doesn't want to learn about your history...think about it for a sec.
