Wow...

"It is the curse of the weak to destroy what they don't comprehend because the unknown frightens them. Rather like a child that is afraid of monsters under the bed but is afraid to light a candle and explore if there is anything really there at all. Instead they lay there all night, shivering in dread, for no other reason but stupidity and cowardice. They don't face their fears because they don't want to understand the nature behind them. They don't want to see their own failings. They have to demolish everything that makes them nervous or frightened because it makes them feel big and powerful when in reality, they are nothing more than ants."

I'm a little surprised at the e-mail I got this evening. I sent an e-mail to check up on a friend, or at least, I like to think of him as a friend, at college. In the reply, I found out he knew about and read my LJ. I was surprised. And a bit embarassed I think. More surprising to me is going to be if once he sees some of the friends locked posts in conjunction with a couple of the earlier unlocked ones he still speaks to me. I'm shocked he hasn't written me off as crazy and not worth talking to already. We'll see what happens. It's actually a pleasant surprise.

Well, that didn't come out quite as I intended. I was in ultra-hyper-happy mode from some recent events and just kinda went off somewhere with my thought stream. ;) I'm well aware of what you mean by not being able to let others in, although I don't personally like being that way... I've managed to get myself to a state that I do like now though. I'm not capable of truly opening to anyone but my 2 closest friends, that I can deal with just fine.

I mostly just commented on this because of how much you APPEAR to not like pushing people away. I could relate to that, sorry if I misinterpreted what you meant!
