I have decided to make an attempt at returning to my previous, short-lived, blog. Mostly I have more time for my mind to wander widely and have been finding that I like myself more when my mind wanders more widely so I have been letting my mind wander widely. When my meandering mind returns from its wild wandering it lets me know that it thinks it has something to say. A blog is a thing in which things can be said and blah blah blah, I'm writing again. To encourage the wandering, if you didn't already catch on to that.
              My message for the evening is something along the lines of never have regrets. Never be ashamed of who you are, what you like or believe or what you have done unless it is truly something to be ashamed of. It's something I've picked up in my first semester away at school that has made me like myself more. It hasn't necessarily made others like me more but it has made me like by people I am happier to be liked by, but we will get back to that later. Let's go into examples. Say Billy Bob, the rough and tough cowboy really likes the carebears. He genuinely just enjoys the show and the accessories that go with it. The other rough n tough cowboys tell Billy Bob, " Hey Billy Bob, don't you know Carebears only be for lil girls and dem homoseximals?" Billy Bob thinks to himself, "well, I'm not a homoseximal nor a little girl, yet I really enjoy the carebears." Most people in Billy Bob's position would say, "well, I don't really like the carebears, it's more of a joke," or some other excuse to cover up their love for carebears. I say Billy Bob should say to these other cowboys, " Fuck you guys, the carebears kick ass." Possibly in less severe terms. I just dont think people should have to be ashamed of who they are. Now some people who do have extreme personalities have to realize that their personalities may hinder advancement in certain areas of the world and that is a cost-benefit analysis sort of thing they will have to go through but as for social things be who you freaking are and never hide truths about you. Part of it is in taking responsibilty for yourself and your actions. The no regret aspect is what usually gets to people. "Everybody has regrets!" they holler. Well duh, everyone has regrets but people should really only regret truly shameful things, otherwise, suck it up, learn from your mistakes and move on with things. So you got really drunk, vomitted everywhere, and pee'd on someones door in the middle of the night? Tell your friends the story proudly. It's funny. You probably don't want to do it again, but don't live regretting it. I've found that my friends that I have met at my university are more genuine people than a lot of people  I used to want as friends. They like me because I admit proudly who I am and what I do. They are just better people than others and I attribute it to this new policy of not regretting things and being proud of all your actions and beliefs. I am rambling and am not very concise. I hope to improve that conciseness thing. One final thought, be proud of your beliefs, but be open to others and don't push your beliefs on other people, It's annoying.
