Friends

I've been told lately that I'm a "hidden" person. In that I don't announce or come completely out with all that I'm capable of doing, I hold back and allow others to figure out how capable I am of doing a task. That I appear to be a complicated person..
Overall I think I'm an easy person to figure out and understand. I'm not going to just come out and tell you what makes me tick, that's the beauty of getting to know me. Especially in a relationship. I gauge the depth of our relationship depending on how well you are willing to know me and what lengths you are willing to take to get to know me. I'm not saying I make people jump through hoops, for if you pay attention, its all right in front of you, but I guess to a certain degree yes; I make you work for my undivided love & devotion. However there are definitely some key components and people that you need to learn or get to know to truly understand and know the real me. That is of course if you want to know who the inside me is, not the one everyone knows, but the real me than you ought to learn about my relationships with the following ...

• First is my dog
• my sister
• Rocco 
• my love for Florida 
• the ocean
• nature 
• photography
• Being in the studio
• any aquatic activities; 

Its amazing how many people you can meet in a lifetime, and how none of them may ever know what makes your world go round, and yet they claim to know you and be your best in life. I find it hard to relate to these people. I am able to achieve the social nice-ities of calling people a friend. But think about it. How many of the people you call friends can you actually say is a friend? How many of those people know what your scared of? what you long for? I'm guilty of it too. I have a ton of "Friends" that at the end of the day if I were to be asked basic questions about them, I wouldn't have a clue as to what the answer would be. And yet there are people who I would never have thought would pay such close attention to my life and they do. Makes you wonder sometimes....
