A slight issue with the boarding school mindset is this:
Relationships start after you know each other really well. You know what time the other person eats breakfast, lunch and dinner, what their strengths and weaknesses are academically and you know their entire romantic history almost at the same time you know their name. But in the real world dating is kind of "getting to know" someone. Dating happens first, and relationships after. I don't know if I can do that. All I want to do is hide: flaws, secrets, weird quirks and I'm not sure if I can.
What is the point of going around in circles with someone who will eventually find out my pet peeve is knuckle cracking, I watch too much television, I love Sylvia Plath, I do laundry when I run out of underwear, Caffeine is my crack and I know nearly every Shakespeare play in horrifying detail?
I guess for now, I should just put insecurities out of my mind and focus on the amazing parts of my personality (and of course my good looks...)
