Private People

[freshnesschronic]

Hey guys. Wow it's been a while. Quick update for those who remember me when I started here my freshmen year of college at the University of Illinois, I'm about to graduate! In two weeks! Very, very excited for that.

But I've been reflecting, on you know my four years here. And I learned that I am a very private person. I don't let an ordinary friend close to me at all. And I value years of friendship very much. My junior high friends I still consider my closest, because i've known them so long and we go back that far. In college I feel like the friends I've made, I still don't let them as close as my high school friends and I still prefer going home and hanging out with my boys from my childhood days. I'm saying I really feel much more comfortable with who I am around friends from home, compared to collegiate friends. I like my college friends, but I love my high school ones.

What do you guys think about being a private person? In some ways these new friends do deserve me to open up to them, but I just don't. It's like a defense mechanism, and for my future I want to TRY to open up a little to people. I feel it will be important in the real world. College is over, and I'm about to see what people I'm really going to stick close to me in times of need.
