i've never thought about using the word 'wholesome' to describe a person until only a few days ago, when james used 'wholesome' to describe one of our co-workers. i didn't think much of it at the time until today, days after that conversation, to realize what that word encapsulates in a person. wholesome is a great adjective to describe some of my friends (which i realize now that I've been using the word 'golden' to describe them the same way wholesome does). i love listening to other people and understanding the way they think and perceive things because I learn from it-- it challenges me to think a different way or to understand something i might not have made the effort to do before. and it's great because they're so full of ideas and every conversation has me learning something new about myself or about another person and going like, "damn I never thought of it that way!" (ex. how some people [who will not be mentioned] brush their teeth after they wake up rather than brushing it after they eat breakfast)
i've always liked james as a person and as a friend, not because i was his first love, but because he's actually a really decent guy! he's very understanding and down-to-earth but a lot of fun to be with. now that he's my boss and that i'm forced to see and talk to him more often and not by choice, the good things about him are more pronounced-- you can learn a lot about a person by their leadership style, and james is that boss who gets shit done, without having to shit on you. he actually makes an effort to put himself in your shoes and, unless you give him a really good reason to, will always make an effort to forgive. he's devoted to his friends and treats his good friends like family-- their friend group is so funny LOL i love hanging out with them. but all in all, at the end of the day, james is a good friend.
then i have friends like jathu and christian. hanging out with them is so fun because, as i was telling thomason, we all bring something different to the table. all our majors are completely different (history, nursing, math, and architecture) so we always have something different to talk about. not gonna lie, just listening to jathu talk about proofs and prime numbers was genuinely so interesting. and it's nice that even tho we all don't work at mcds anymore, we still make the effort to hang out! as individuals, jathu is a great storyteller and so full of life despite her short stature, good natured and with a big heart; she's 100% wholesome content. & there's christian who is genuinely a good guy who's so humble; he was also great as a TL when we worked at mcds. plus the way he makes an effort to hang out with his little brother is so sweet; 100% wholesome guy!
i dunno, maybe i am just drawn to the good side of people (isn't that why douche was part of my My5?) and it's not like i see them as ~*perfect*~ or ~*flawless*~, because 100% i know they're not.. but when all is said and done, these are the kinds of people i want to surround myself with.. it's like that saying how you can tell a lot about a person by the people they surround themselves with. maybe that's why i get shocked when people at this age still get caught up in petty high school-like drama, and why you won't see anyone like that in my social circle lmao. i've been thinking a lot about the social aspect of my life, but i'm pretty content with the people who i've been blessed to have met and kept close, despite the busy schedules.
