Quality is better than quantity.

I suppose it's about that time. Time to overlook my life at this very moment. I am very excited to be moving to California. I believe it will be the step I need to progress my future. Staying in DC won't get my anywhere new. What sucks is that I will have to leave those behind who have been there for me these past 5 years of living here. I'm so nervous to get there & just feel alone. I won't know who to trust, who to turn to. But I will not be afraid to open up or else I know I will never be able to find those great people out there who will do the same for me. This is the only the test of my strength & I continue to grow stronger. There is so much for me to see & to learn. Bring it on Cali...

So I was reading an article in a magazine today about true friends. It was about quality versus quantity. I used to be that girl who wanted to make sure everyone was happy. I didn't really stop to make sure I was being fulfilled. I would get upset but forgive too easily to people. I was never part of the "party crew" in highschool. I never really realized why I wasn't like them. Why didn't I have like 1,000 friends to hang out with on the weekends like them. I was always the girl who had a few close friends, but it was hard to hold on to them. There has definately been a select few that have lasted through & through. I am so thankful for them. I definately learned that it's not about having the most friends, because there's always that chance of getting hurt. After graduation I got to whitness this first hand. Hanging around those people, ya are fun at first. But seeing how much the majority of the people don't even like eachother. I know I would never want to associate myself with people who act nice to my face then turn around & talk shit about me to another behind my back. It breaks my heart to see people live like that! I've had my fair share of getting backstabbed from those I really thought were the real deals. It really hurts but that just shows how much you have to cherish those who want to prove to you that they will always have your back. Goes to show that quality really is better than quantity, ya know? I really hope for the best for all of you. It may hurt at first but if you currently have a relationship with a significant other or a friend, don't feel bad to speak your mind. Let them know how you feel if you don't think you're getting your fair share of the deal. My friendships have grown so much by just speaking my mind. I am always up to express what makes me upset. It may not end up the way I wished but I ultimately feel better about myself.

Thank you to all those who have been so open & kind to me thus far. Buzznet really has been a great experience & I love meeting you all. It's great just to hear about how the rest of the world lives ya know? I don't get to be everywhere at once, but I can learn all I can through you. I hope to hear from more of you & to be here for caring & advise if needed. I'm definately a good listener & still love to help others. I'm sorry about this ridiculously long entry & if you actually read this then I love you.ha You are amazing. I was actually considering making a video blog next. What do ya think?

You should do a video blog hun, I think you'd have presence. As for friends... I really don't think it matters how many you have as long as you have one that's always there for you.
Best of luck in Cali.

Cali is where it's at.

What part are you moving to?
alreadyxdead: 06/11/2008 9:50 PM
i agree. quality is definitely better than quantity.
what's the point in having a lot of friends if none of them are good friends??
i wish you luck in everything you do in the future :)

I completely agree with you i rather have quality than quantity. =] As for moving to Cali, that is awesome when are you planning to move and do you have an idea what area you would want to move to? Also video blogs are always fun. I usually put them on my youtube. =]

i think a video blog would be fun, i want to start trying them, or at least start trying to make videos more often :)

i hope you meet awesome people in cali! i was nervous to move out here too, since i lived in ohio for 19 years, and my boyfriend didn't come to live with me until almost 2 months after i came. so it was very scary coming out here not knowing anybody, but people are for the most part friendly as long as you are friendly to them :)

i totally agree about the friends too. i only ever had about 4 close friends my whole life. i never had the big crowd like my sister did, and she seems equally happy as i am.

i hope you love living in california as much as i do!! well to me, anything beats cincinnati ohio!! haha

I totally know what you mean about the friends thing. You want someone who will always be there no matter what, and in return, you should do the same for your friend. So what if you have, like, three friends. There's a good chance thoes three friends will do anything for you.
And let me just welcome you to California now. I can't say much about northern california, because the furthes I frequently go up to is Pismo Beach, but I'd be more than happy to help with whatever I can. Who knows, maybe we might even run into eachother one day if you're ever walking around Hollywood. (I go down there a lot) I know that's a big step, and I'm proud of any type of friend that I may have, if I've known them my whole life, or a few days, it doesn't matter. That's a huge step, and it takes a lot of courage and strength to leave ewverything you've built up in the 5 years you've been in DC. So congrats on that, and more power to you. I hope you catch the dreams you're chasing. It sure seems like you're well on your way.

Making the east coast to west coast move! I'm surviving it so far and definitely enjoying the sunshine and perfect weather. I miss NYC but California is proving to be quite the change I think I needed. Hopefully you'll find what you're looking for out here.

:) I loved reading this. I find it really hard to trust people because I once had a 'friend' that talked shit about me everytime I left a conversation. Sometimes we all just need to grow up and grow thick skin, you know? You'll do great in California and you shouldn't have any problems making friends :)
