So after a long afternoon of work, I met up with Joanna and we went rollerblading/biking. It was a good outlet for the lingering energy I had. I like this routine we've developed and hope that we can maintain it as long as the weather holds out. Being allergic to the cold is severely limiting when you happen to live in Canada.
I met up with Kandi and we ended up at Starbucks; she had a deep craving for the passion tea lemonade. What followed was a deep, profound, and interesting discussion.
Our self-perception is shaped by how others view us; this, I do know. My own self-perception is further solidified by how my friends see me. Even still, I think they often see me as a better person than I really am.
I know I am incredibly self-reliant but this is neither a virtue nor a fault. I have been shaped by the circumstances of my life and had no choice but to learn from a very early age to take care of myself. I'm not saddened or upset by this; it's all I've ever really known. I don't know what it's like to have someone take care of me; that rarely happens. I am my own limit. I create the obstacles in my path and therefore I am responsible for removing them.
This self-deprecation is probably why I don't view my life as tragic or awful; it simply is. These are the circumstances I was given and the cards that I was dealt. It is up to me to create the life I want.
