Attention is like the friend who drags me out of the house to go partying with strangers, to introduce me to their friend Embarrassment. No offense Embarrassment but I would prefer not to be your friend. I’m actually considering creating more distance in my friendship with Attention and maybe making friends with Boundaries. I don’t even know how Attention found me in the first place!?! Funny and I are becoming closer friends. Sometimes Sleep-Deprived dresses up to look like Funny, and I can’t tell the difference between the two of them. The faces of Funny and Sleep-Deprived can sometimes be distinguished only by their eyebrows. I need to increase my awareness and be reintroduced to Humility and Humbleness. They really are a powerful duo! They have the power to put Funny, Attention and Embarrassment back into their place. While I’m out here making friends with Humility, Humbleness, Sleep-Deprived, and Funny; I should also try to become friends with Change, Growth and Peace. I appreciate the long-lasting relationship with Insecurities being a part of my life, but I must say a bittersweet farewell. I’d have to make friends with Insanity and Crazy and Social-Judgement and Side-Eye-Glances-From-Across-The-Room and Integrating-Back-Into-Society if all my friends were named after feelings. I also am friends with Blue, Loneliness, Life-Of-The-Party, and Hungry. Perhaps all my friends have emotional names. Self-Control comes over and whispers into my ear “You’ve gone far enough talking about this. Quit while you’re ahead!” And Embarrassment and Attention have decided to come say hello. Hi Embarrassment. Hi Attention. I actually just saw Time over there and I really have to go. Sorry!
