Hmmm....

"You ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder, how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples lives have we been in. Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true? Or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shock take us by surprise. Just think. You could be a big part of someone else's life. And not even know it." Quote from One Tree Hill

This was a quote I found from the show One Tree Hill. I wonder how many strangers have pictures of me...I know that some people from my class in California have a few. I wonder what they think when they see those pics...I for one did not take any although I wish I had. There was one person in particular that I spent some time with usually at the bar talking. One night, out of the blue, he asked me why I was so self-conscious. Stunned, I just looked at him. He totally caught me off guard. We spent the next 20 minutes dissecting me...how fun...but it got me to thinking that night...and I think about it now and then...

I got a chance to hang out with a friend the other night and we talked about life. And me...something I'm not so good at...but he went on to compliment me and tell me how I have so much to offer and that I'm a good person and to not settle. Settling is something that I tend to do...I'm not sure why...but I just do...it's also something that I'm trying not to do anymore. I deserve the best. I deserve to be loved and adored for the crazy girl that I am. I deserve to have someone who complements me well and who lets me be me. I won't settle. And if anyone sees me doing that...stop me!
