So, my friends (no offense to them they are cool most of the time), tell me I should be more picky. Actually, the word one of them used is 'conceded'. I said, "You DO realize that is not a positive character trait right?" I am just not so wrapped up in looking @ people all the time, unless when I look @ them, I see who they are inside. "So why should I be conceded?" "Because you're like, pretty, and you pick guys that aren't good enough for you. ok, the one guy you were chillin w/ over the summer...what was his name? Idk, he didn't take you out on any dates, and he was totally wrapped up in drugs. I mean, he wasn't even cute and you said you were 'falling' for him?!" I told my friends how shallow their whole reasoning was and they said he treated me like crap anyways. I thought he was sweet, and even though he's a jerk on the outside, I felt like I could see the soul behind his cold exterior... My last words on the conversation were: "I am not looking, and I won't let myself get worked up over anything too fast b/c I let it happen once and it was a bust. But if something good happens to come along, I am not going to push it away either; I'll just brace myself, while staying focused on MY future"
