I have been back in IFalls for a few months now and my memories of the cold weather are coming back to me. Being from the lower midwest it gets cold in Louisville, but not this cold. Sometimes I wonder how you people deal with the cold but I guess you have to get use to it. I am trying to get use to not just the weather but how you all do things up here. Mostly all of the people that I incounter are friendly. That is not new to me but by me being a person who likes to keep to myself some people may take me the wrong way. I am not an anti-social person I just have learned throughout my life's experiences that to limit the amount of friends or so called friends that you may have. That is because it today's society alot of people pretend to be be good people but they end up stabbing you in the back. So to prevent from being stabbed in the back by a so called friend I sometimes isolate myself from people. I thought by moving up here I would be able to let my guard down alittle, but it seems to me that no matter where a person may call home you have to be aware of those they may pretend to be your friend but end up being back stabbers. My mom use to tell me all the time growning up that I needed to go with the flow more instead of making my own way. That is one thing I have never been able to do, go with the flow. Maybe somehow someday I will be able to go with the flow, but until then I rather be me because that is all I know. I know sometimes in life you havve to be willing to adjust or adapt to certain situations, which I am fine with doing that. I just will not sacrifice my pride, character or soul just please the next person.
