Pictured left are my friends Hannah, Alice, and Michelle. College roommates and college friends. Not many people realize this but I have had great difficulty maintaining most relationships I've had over the years, platonic and romantic. Part of the problem stems from my self-doubt and over-analyzing my relationships with people. The other problem is that I am extremely aware of my surroundings, particular the inter-actions I have with people -- which is borderline paranoia. To this day I still suffer my bouts of anxiety. Being social was never my forte to many people's surprise. Anyway, I have somehow managed to steer away from my topic.
For the most part I feel that I am extremely lucky to have befriended Carlene, Kim, Devi, Michelle, Hannah, Alice and Sonya at UCLA. I have a hand full of friends from college that I call my friends. A handful of people I can rely on or continue to speak with from high school. These are the people who have done the "little things" for me by surprising me with a birthday cake, to giving me little gifts which I know had a lot of thought and consideration put into it. More importantly, these are friends that I can rely on.
Going back to my birthday, and the ongoing celebration that stretched from December 6 to 9, I realized there are some wonderful people in my life I have encountered, that have made my life so much better and more exciting -- so much more meaningful.
