I've been thinking a lot about friends lately. I know you're not supposed to hang around with people who bring you down, but I also don't think it's possible to only associate with people who constantly lift you up. Today, I was walking with this guy that I once kind of liked, but it faded fast. Usually after he and I are done talking, I end up thinking either "Why did I say that?" or "Why didn't I say this?" But today, after he left I just thought, "When I'm around him I don't act like the person I want to be. I'm okay with not being that close with him." I don't think I really agree with the idea that I can "not be myself" around people (obviously I'm just being the version of myself that comes out during a specific situation), but I do think I've finally caught on to the idea of surrounding yourself with the right people, the kind that will make you act like the person you want to be.
Then I was looking at videos of my new favorite show, Psych.
This one reminded me of some other people I know who record music, not really for the artistic quality of it, but to make people (including themselves) smile, and in the process help each other do [good] things they probably wouldn't if they were on their own. (Also, they both say piano differently, kind of like we can't make the words "angel" and "angel" rhyme...)
