My little conversation
This might not interest you guys, but I am told a lot that I don't think the way most people do. That I have my own way of seeing things and wording stuff. For example, I was on the phone with someone from a college and she asked me a question. She asked me, "How do you see yourself responding around your classmates and peers? What kind of relationships do you expect to have?" I had to think about it for a moment, but then I answered in the most honest way I could. I told her that I can't say for certain. No one can truly expect what kind of relationships could come out of new peers. No one can know for certain how things will be or how you act with others. It's because no one can see into the future. Even though we can hope and wish for things to go smoothly and you can hope for amazing friendships from the new people around you, you can't know for sure if it'll happen the way you wish it to be. You never know if you will make friends, enemies, or meet someone you fall in love with. That's the thing about life, the suspense. We can hope for this, pray a situation goes the way you want it to, but the truth is, nothing ever goes the way we want. Nothing is ever promised and nothing is ever given without you working for it. I could have told the woman I spoke to over the phone that I would work with my peers and become friends with them all, but that would be the same as lying. If you don't get along with someone, it's not easy to work with them. And you can try to be friends with them all, but like I said before, things don't always work out the way you plan. All you can do is try. Nothing is promised. Not everything will be good. But at the same time, not everything will be bad either. Trying is one thing, but unless you truly want it and work for it, you won't succeed. Not unless there is a miracle. The woman was speechless when I told her my answer and then she said that my answer had to be the best answer she ever heard. The thing is, I don't think differently. Not really. It's just my views, how I see things. I don't like to lie. And I don't like say things that I can't know for sure will happen. That's when I say stuff like this. It surprises people since I'm only 18 and thinking like this, but that's just how and who I am. What would you have said to the woman if it were you on the phone? Comment below and let me know.
