It creates a nice serene atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been circling something I recently posted about regarding who you surround yourself with. Something in the past year just changed inside of me. I am finding it so hard to not become frustrated and feel jaded when I hang out with people anymore. I just don&#8217;t surround myself with the people I should. People that think and feel the same way as me. That consider others before themselves. The other night I was hanging with my friends and there were a few moments when I thought to myself something similar to the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I have no idea why I choose to sit here and continue to feel like this&#8221;. Multiple fucking times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s just not a good feeling to have when you are hanging out with friends. It also has caused me to recently contemplate what a &#8216;friend&#8217; actually is. Are the people I am hanging out with truly friends, or are they just people to hang around and bullshit with? I am starting to lean towards the latter. If that&#8217;s all friends are, I can just find a billion of them on the internet. If I stopped talking to the people I talk to daily, would my life be affected in anyway? After intensive consideration, I truly cannot see how it would be. That&#8217;s just not good. I need more from my relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is very similar to my thoughts and feelings of an ex. I used too long and crave for a moment of vindication. I&#8217;d kill for a moment to speak to this person and show that I wasn&#8217;t what I believed they thought of me. Then in the past year or so my attitude towards that completely shifted. What was once &#8220;I&#8217;d kill for my moment&#8221; became &#8220;It simply doesn&#8217;t matter&#8221;. It doesn&#8217;t benefit anyone. There is no net positive to take away from that. These relationships failed for a reason, and they belong in the past. They could text me tomorrow and I&#8217;d delete it instantly. Just no thank you! This applies to quite a few people I knew honestly, but I can see it happening to my closest friendships soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is so much more I could write, however I am choosing to leave it here. I don&#8217;t want this journal to become a bitch fest. It feels good to get my thoughts written out, but it&#8217;s been too mopey lately. I gotta get back to the fun stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a good note, I started a new play through of Knights of the Old Republic! I had no idea the PC version ran at 60 fps, so that is a wonderful surprise! I am hoping I can beat this as well as the sequel before my friend and I start new characters on SWTOR. I just don&#8217;t think I have the time to do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m hitting the gym at 4 am after work and doing chest and tris. I am doing so well so far and I can&#8217;t wait to see how I look in June! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my final 2 hours of my first overnight shift this rotation.
