What kinda f*ckery is this?!?

About Me

Right now I am at a point in my life where I feel that everything I do should have some sort of meaning. I take this approach in all of my actions. When it comes to making any choices this is the philosophy that i use. I am in my second year of graduate school and It is getting down to the wire. I am quickly approaching a new chapter in my life and I am excited to see where my life will lead me. I do not have time for people who's existence will not positively benefit me. Im not talking in monetarily or materialistically but i say that to convey that I like to have relationships/friendships that I can build on and grow along with the other person. In lamens terms "what are you talking about?", "Is it positive?", "is it uplifting?" If it isnt it has no meaning in my book and i dont want to be apart of it.
