I have been exploring new edges of friendship with the people I live with. It has been a very interesting, challenging, and ultimately fulfilling experience. I see where all my viewpoints have been getting stuck relating to people. The thought simply is "what am I getting out of this" is now (slowly) transforming into "what can I give to this person".

Especially with women. So many of my thoughts are around getting something. "If I do this, then I might get this". It is like a natural reflex in my mind.

It has been interesting to see the results when I simply do something without an expectation of return. I have found that I not only get the enjoyment of providing an experience for someone else but other gifts float into my world.

It am enjoying my life right now.
