>if you make many friends like that you will notice it's very hard to keep them around you for long
i have a hard time believing that a true self exists. like for example, just knowing my grandparents as a kid and as an adult they have sides of themselves that react to who i am in that moment. the types of things that we focused on in our conversations has totally changed. i hear like my parents and stuff say the stuff i used to hear around the corner when they thought i was asleep. people are beautiful in a lot of different ways. just because you try to connect with people in the areas that you can understand of them doesnt make you less you or them less them. humans are just unfathomably complex imo and you can't show somebody all of what you are in one conversation
