• for the past several months I’ve been resistant to talking and introducing myself to a lot of people
  • The reason is because I feel like I’m going to have to commit to that relationship I just started
  • The reality is that in University we do meet a lot of people and at the same time we do lose touch with a lot of people without even trying. It just happens naturally
    • for some relationship to flourish and grow, both parties have to put effort into it and if one of them doesn’t, the connection will slowly fade away naturally

Point is

  • I will need to let go of the responsibility that I feel before I even approach someone
    • several times it has stopped me from talking to someone you who seems interesting
    • I Tell myself several excuses and what ifs and I burden myself with thinking that if I approached them, I’m going to have to be friends with them.
  • I want to have a more realistic approach to this:
    • That’s my curiosity to lead the way without thinking too much of how I can manage this relationship after this talk.
    • because in most cases we would just talk once and never again
    • this has happened already so many times with me but I somehow still believe that it won’t happen next time
    • I gotta stop “fantasizing” interactions. Be realistic, present, and Authentic
  • I’m proud to share that I took action on this realization and did something that I’ve been wanting to do since mid-fall semester(around 2-3 months)
