And also… how do I get some of those?
Relationships mostly mean friendships in this case. I don’t want to risk a good relationship over the volatility of high school hormones.
Above are the selfies I took with as many people in lazertag as possible. This was during the band trip.
The band trip has made me think a lot about myself and friendships. I think there’s quite a bit of potential in this group, specifically with a the Central band kids. Not sure why it’s with them specifically, but there ‘ya go.
What I have been thinking about is that I’d really like to have some friends at school and in my interests. Turns out, though, that when you have five friends for your entire life (pre-pre-k to now) you don’t exactly get used to making friendships.
So here’s the dilemma:
I do not know how to confidently talk to people as Nevin.
And I do know how to talk to people as a character I really don’t like.
Sure, I could modify the character, but then I’m not Nevin. Plain and simple.
Let’s look at me and my family for an end goal. We all talk to each other and compromise for each other because we like each other. I am confident I can share anything with them and be recieved with love. Probably not possible in high school, but I’d like to give it a shot.
The least healthy relationships I currently have (and they aren’t bad, just very shallow) is with the Peacock band kids. Most of what they say sounds, to me, like complaining or jokes at the cost of someone else. I put up with them to have people to talk to.
Solution?
I dunno. Probably just talk to people. Make conversations happen. That’s part of the reason I recently got snapchat, albiet very begrudgingly. We don’t have time to talk in band, so I’ll try sometime else.
But hey, I’m trying. I’ll keep ‘ya posted.
