It's been a little over a week since my last post, and lately I've been thinking about how people are afraid to differentiate themselves from the rest of the crowd. Personally I don't think being different is such a bad thing, when it comes to your ambitions, drive, and personality (as long as we're talking about "good" personality traits!) What made me finally decide to write this was something my brother told me last night. He posted the "she was finally starting to realize what she lost." So I liked it, and said "you go little brother!" Then he tells me that his ex-girlfriend who I considered to be someone that I trusted up until a few weeks ago, and especially until last night, said that I was to blame for their (my brother and her) breakup. I had nothing to do with it, in fact my only advice to her was that she should only leave the relationship if she was unhappy, because my brother was a good guy and he wouldn't do anything wrong to her on purpose. So suddenly it's my fault.
Anyway, the point is: I've been in New Orleans for about 8 weeks now, and I've noticed the attitudes and differences in people here compared to those of people in Texas. I know it's a different type of "bird" here, but I've also noticed that the attitudes are catching. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the reason my brother's ex-girlfriend is suddenly such a bad person is because she wants so desperately to fit in here that she is picking up the bad habits of disloyalty, and flat-out lying to try and get her way? She didn't seem like a bad person when I first met her, but now that the truth has come out, I'm not so sure her breaking up with my brother was a bad thing.
The REAL point is: be who you are, be honest with anyone you meet, because in my book, family comes first, and if you say something about someone I love, they come first.
In other news: I'm working on my resume today, and making my "five year plan." It's time to get passionate about it.
