It's Hard to Keep the Faith, I'm Never Gonna Fade Away

I will be in Rome in 3 days! I am getting pretty excited about it. I have almost finished packing already because apparently I have so little to do this summer that packing 3 days early was a good idea. I have had the blessing of having one of my good friends back in town for the past week. He and I have hung out a lot, and talked about many things. Just being able to talk about life sometimes makes it so much easier to think about it clearly. I have noticed that I act differently around him that some of my other friends. This got me wondering "whats up with that?" When I stop to think about it, I guess I am a little different around everybody. Which one of those is the real me? Am I only me when I am alone, or is it some sort of combination of how I am with everyone put together? I think the real answer to that question is that I am the constant between all my different "personalities" (I know I don't have split personalities or anything, it is just the easiest way to put it). The things that remain the same despite whoever I am with are what make me who I am. All of the aspects of me that change based on who I am with are not important to me, and therefor adapt to fit the people around me. I wondered for a while if this adaptation of sorts makes me a weak person, but I think it just means that I know what is really important to me, and everything else is just sand in the hourglass.
