So Thursday night, as we're driving to karaoke, Jenn starts explaining to me her take that resolve is bullshit.
Jenn: Resolve is bullshit because it hampers oneself and allows people to come near you that probably shouldn't be that close in the first place.
So I'm listening to this and I'm thinking, ok, you have a point. But at the same time, I've never known anyone that doesn't have multiple sides to them, and multiple friends to suit it. But for that reason, when you are with certain friends, don't you stifle the parts of you that don't match them?
And then there's my whole love of uncomfortable tension thing..... but I'll leave that out as a wild card.
So.. I don't know.. any thoughts? Anyone do things differently to hang out with certain people, even though they are not as easy to be with as other people?
And if you want a muffin, I have a bunch left over from last night's close. Cream cheese cinnamon rolls, too. And, of course, coffee.

frankly, i would get too bored hanging around the same type of people all the time and actually being "myself." hell, i've got friends i don't even particularly like! of course i act different around different types of people, everyone does, but that doesn't mean that all those different facets aren't still ME. you can tell if you're being phony or just highlighting one part of your personality. i think we all need different types of friends to release different types of tensions.
and to make life interesting, of course.
