Hello and welcome to another attempt at blogging regularly again. This time I will go for topics based on what was listed in my previous post.
See the entire list here: http://quarkinator.blogspot.com/2010/08/list-of-25.html
(1) A strong support group
I. Family
I think I was lucky enough not to have parents that were too strict with me. They still set limitations and doled out punishments when needed but I think I had more freedom compared to some of the people I know.
They're very supportive and act more as a recommending body with veto powers than a totalitarian regime.
I remember this one time that I got drunk and my coworker had me call them up. Mom picked up and the first words out of my mouth were along the lines of "Mom, I'm drunk. I'm staying over at a friend's place." I could completely imagine the humor in her eyes and in a friendly, knowing tone, she said okay. The day after, I get back home to the grins of two adults and was regaled with some similar stories from their early years.
All in all, I don't think I had any major problems with my family.
II. Friends
We all have a core group methinks; that certain mix of people that you relay practically everything there is about your life. I think I found that group in college. As we grow older, I'm pretty much aware that we may drift apart considering my lack of initiating communications with them, but we're still relatively tight as of now. There are parts of my life that they know about that my family doesn't, and the same holds true in reverse in as much as my core group doesn't know everything there is about my family history.
I sometimes wonder if the core group will ever expand.
So here I am at 25 and close to a month years old. I ramble online and try not to get too stressed at work these days. I've got good foundations with the people I care most about and here's to hoping that they'll always stab me in the front as per Oscar Wilde's conjecture.
