And Here

"You're so happy!"

"It's like you never have problems!"

"You're so understanding."

"You're such a good friend."

Okay, Amy... I can relate. Like, it's different for me but kind of the same too. I'm not so happy, I don't think. I have lots of problems. I don't really understand. And I'm a good friend for selfish reasons because I want people to like me.

But here's the thing... I started We're All So Rad partly cause of this mysterious 'thing'... sometimes all that stuff people say is just as true as the things you think you know yourself. we may know aspects of ourselves no one else does, but we're also hugely biased. so try not to let what people say affect you too much, but consider it carefully because i think it probably has some truth. what i've found from the above statements? That I do have great capacity for happiness I may not always be happy, but I am easily amused with myself and others, more easily than most people and that is a gift. That I do have problems, but they don't have to be around all the time. That maybe I understand people better than I think. And that everyone wants people to like them, and I can still feel that a lot <b>and</b> be a good friend.

One last thing: I noticed you a lot at camp and I think you're articulate (read what you wrote in the camp journals), amazingly beautiful, and very observant. Those are good things. And to echo Zack <b>huuuuuug</b>. I understand, I think, in my own way.

Mwah!
