I noticed that on Monday, I was really hyped up and I was a completely different person. I wasn't shy at all. I spoke my mind, and just had fun. However, yesterday (tuesday) i was extremely quiet, very tired, and unwilling to talk to anyone. I started thinking today (and the process is still going, still trying to gather these thoughts as i write) what if the people we know, aren't really the real people? I noticed how the sugar affected me so much that it completely changed who I am. Some people might not use sugar, some may use drugs, makeup, money, or something else.
Let's get some examples in here.
Person A meets Person B. For now, Person A will be Greg, and Person B will be Ty. Greg meets Ty. Ty is really upbeat, talkative, and outgoing. Greg is also talkative, and loves to make new friends. What Greg doesn't know is that if Ty doesn't have something to wake him up, he will be very grouchy, irritable, and a jerk. This is the normal Ty. Greg is fooled into thinking that Ty is a very nice, and friendly person, because Ty hides behind his sugar or coffee, in this case. If Ty never had any of that, Ty might have a lower self-esteem, less friends, less support, and less success. Ty is hiding the real him. I know this is a weak example, but i'm sure you can think of one that might involve drugs or money.
I've thought about changing me by drinking something to give me a boost every morning. However, I would, uhh, lessen the amount I drink, so as not to go overboard. I liked the change. I wasn't quiet, I wasn't shy, and I even got more laughs out of the day than normal. But the problem is, that's not the natural me. And that's the point of this blog. You can't tell if the person you are hanging out with is real or not unless you really know them. This isn't about fake people. Anyone can tell someone is fake. This is about non-real people. The ones who hide it and aren't painfully obvious. It's hard to change yourself. It's easy to get something to do it for you.
This is all I really wanted to say, to give you something to think about. You can go really far with this thought, or you can shrug it off, maybe to ignore it if it applies to you, or maybe you just don't care. Anyway, that's all i wanted to say. My deepest blog yet? I think so.

Verrrry deep.
And it makes sense. Honestly, it does.
But you know, sometimes they don't need anything. Sometimes people are different around different groups of people.
It's got to do with the whole, "I need to fit in," lifestyle these days. Very sad-making.
I'll toast to that!
(woah, this is like my shortest comment ever -- better stop typing before that changes...>.> )
