The One Month Rule
I totally believe in this rule. It is so true.
The one month count down is the amount of time it takes for people in a cast to start showing their true colors. It is so funny how things turn out. The people who seem super cool can be exactly the opposite by the end of the month. Everyone puts on a show at first. There are so few who are the same at the beginning of the month.
As for me, I try to be the same throughout. My goal at the beginning is to be friends with everyone and then be wary in case someone is not desiring my company. When I first started out, I was dilussionaly and truly thought that everyone liked me. It came as a shock to me when i found out years later that some people were not so fond of me.
This is not fun to share. I would love to be that person who is accepted by everyone. But when I really think about it, if it was so easy, then my close friends would not be as special. And trust me, I have some amazing friends who I will know for the rest of my life.
Every contract I do hope to get some more “friends for life,” but it just can’t always happen.
