Water your plants.

Ang lapit na ng graduation mo, isang sem na lang.
Sayang hindi tayo naging friends. Sayang kasi gusto talaga kitang maging close friend.
Kasi tingin ko, kung nagkakilala tayo nang mas maaga at naging magkaibigan, saktong-sakto lang ang timpla.
(WHAT?? May timpla-timpla pang nalalaman right hohoho)


Ikaw na kasi ang ideal person. Ikaw na. HOHO

Eh yung pwede naman akong mag-hello or mag-smile, pero noooo, halamanparin.
...

Shyness and awkwardness, I partly blame you. Oh no.
I'm a happy person. I always list "humor" as one of the things I love (right after books, writing, film, anime, photography, fiction, journalism, food, docus, and other geeky matters). I'm a very different person when I'm around my close friends. I enjoy friendly conversations.

I'm not always as "introverted" as I may seem. I only seem "extra shy and reticent" when I'm around:
* strangers/new acquaintances
* people who make me nervous - this can have different implications

You carry a good kind of implication : )
...

I should try talking more. Yes, I'm a naturally reserved person. I don't really "open up" to just anyone. I can only have these "deep" conversations with my closest friends. Sometimes, I also find it difficult to show the "real me" (yes, it's clichéd).

No matter how trite this may sound, here it goes -- I tend to be quiet around people I'm not really close with YET. I can only "unleash" my hidden happy/Imasuperhappycreaturewhoenjoysmakingcornyjokes side when I'm around my close friends. But when I'm with a "different" crowd, I can't seem to be "myself." This isn't spurious living or anything close to that. I just can't seem to really open up and share what there is to share.

There. I'm talking too much AGAIN. But only when I'm writing. I can't seem to put all of these into actuality. I want to be more expressive, but I seem uncomfortable with that idea. I want to be more friendly, I want to make the first approach, I want to smile + say hi first before you do so I wouldn't have to wait in awkward silence matched with an elusive pair of eyes. I want to stop pretending that I don't see people, that I don't recognize/remember them.

I've buried myself in my studies, allowing myself to swim in languor, floating amongst livid colors. I got lost in my own equilibrium. I want to be, I need to be more friendly.
...

May disadvantages din pala ang pagiging halaman.

(Parang hindi ako nagsulat nito. Weird. Nakakailang. Iba. Nakakadiri lang. Oh no. I apologize [to baffled self] for the code-switching, sometimes it's just vehemently necessary. Hoho.)

^ Strange. This is very strange.
