diamond in the rough

I’ve been doing a lot of self reflecting lately.  I’ve been very “in my head” for a few days…i kinda like when i get like this because it makes me feel deep and interesting. But it’s also annoying because my brain needs a break.

what it comes down to is, i suck at communication, and i’m too guarded.

but then a friend said something to make me feel a little better about myself, heres how it went down:

her (9:09:05 PM): remember when i first started to hang out, i thought you hated me bc you never talked to me lol

me (9:09:22 PM): lol yeh it takes me a long time to let people in

me (9:09:27 PM): is that a good thing or bad? i dunno!

her (9:09:42 PM): its both!! it makes you you

and then she went on to give me some analogy about diamonds and coal.  it was actually quite helpful and made me feel less frustrated with myself.

her (9:10:07 PM): think of it like this

her (9:10:32 PM): you go stright to the diamonds before the coal

her (9:10:48 PM): i go through the coal to get the diamonds

her (9:11:00 PM): wtf am i talking about?

me (9:11:05 PM): lolol

me (9:11:20 PM): coal and diamonds? i dont get it

her (9:11:27 PM): lol diamonds come from coal

me (9:12:17 PM): oh so you mean like, i weed out all the coal and find the diamonds?

her (9:12:24 PM): yes!!!

me (9:12:30 PM): i like it!

me (9:12:36 PM): good analogy

her (9:12:37 PM): you dont even bother with the coal, you keep your hands clean!

so, in conclusion, i guess i’m being a little too hard on myself.

but it wouldn’t hurt to break down some of my walls, right?

i’ll try.

in other news, i finally did something to my ‘who?’ page: https://yooshername.wordpress.com/about/
