I'm Andrea. I'm 19 and a student at UNM.
Have fun reading my random blogs. They're potentially useless and often completely random, but perhaps you will find some method to my madness. Enjoy?
Selfish
Selfishness is considered a negative trait by most, but I find it necessary to maintain at least a little bit of selfishness, mostly as a means of protection…Protection from other people for the most part because, to put it plainly, people suck. I wouldn’t even call it selfishness, actually…it’s more of a sense of self respect and understanding of one’s worth. I’ve always been a really giving person. I’ve offered people my friendship and love without expecting anything in return, and it has bitten me in the derriere more than a few times in the past few years…especially recently. I’m slowly learning that it’s important to consider my feelings and the impact my decisions (and others’ decisions) will have on me before I make/consent to them. Ultimately I’m not being selfish because people who deserve for me to give them my friendship and love will earn it. I’ve learned to protect myself from people who don’t care, and I’ve learned it the hard way. I’ve shed countless tears and experienced insecurity, and now I realize that those who are not willing to be there for me during the worst of times shouldn’t get to be around me during the best of times. In the long run, it’s all about self preservation. 
This is the song from Bridesmaids. I love it. It makes me think of my bestest friend. :P I do not own this song, it’s by Wilson Philips.
