I guess I've never thought of it like that

I've been reading a book my aunt gave me; it's a self-help book (most of them I abhor) and this one is borderline ridiculous, but I'm giving it a shot. It DOES have some good points though. The author is, of course, from Portland (thanks, Debbie) haha! And talks extensively about it. Which by the way, reminds me that the guy I'm interning with has family in Forest Grove...what a small f'ing world... it was fun to talk about it though, and I actually could bc of Kyle and his family!

One of the good points that I've actually found a little solace in is that people value different things. It's not revolutionary, but not something that was ever at the forefront of my thoughts. I kept imagining that people have kind of the same ideals as each other. It's like the quote: 'When God hates the same people you do, it's fair to say you've created Him in your own image.'

After much whining and bargaining (the 2 of the 5 stages of grief) I've determined that I didn't communicate my values very well. I did at the beginning, but when they changed, as I thought the might, I never said a word. Yay! I also didn't think that maybe a relationship was not the most important thing to Kyle at that time either. Our relationship was SIGNIFICANT to him, but ultimately maybe not what he wanted to invest his time into long term.

In light of the confusion of emotions, I do think this situation is good for me. It's good regardless of my feelings in the present. The future looks bright (the LONG away future that is). I am single and can do whatever the hell I want. I look forward to going to Germany to see Ana, Christine and Sarah! I'm going to miss Ana so much! But It's nice to have people you know there!! Sarah said I could drive her car on the autobon!! eee!
haha!
