I realized something about myself. I've noticed when something happens and a problem arises, and then there is someone else who thinks of a really genius or really creative solution, I've always thought to myself why I hadn't thought of that and then that leads me to realize that I don't really think of creative things, I don't really look for solving the problem. Instead I think about myself and how I can over come or endure this issue instead of resolving it. Like if there's a wall in front of me I don't look for a way around, instead I'll just punch my way through the wall and if I've never done that before then I will teach myself to deal with the pain associated with punching through a wall. If there's no door I don't look for another way around, I just make the door through pure will. Although I do enjoy creative solutions, I don't think that either way of going about things are better or worse. I don't know, maybe it's like I'd rather learn to live with the problem than fix it, I'd rather find the solution within myself. I don't think this is ubiquitous throughout all my opinions though, I have plenty of progressive opinions about things but I've also got this. I'm more introspective about solving problems and I think this leads to a lot of personal growth. I think Cross Country was a major factor in the development of this trait. Both methods are a valuable thing to have though.

I'm telling people to take it easy. You've got to be there for people. You need people. Maybe there's someone who doesn't, but I sure do. I'm trying to find a way to make it square with them. Taking care of myself and not being a drag is probably the best way to make it up. Midnight In Paris is a really good movie.
