That is actually a really interesting idea--looking for things in other people and not worrying so much about your own self. I think I shall try it. :)
The thing is that I do think that people can make deep heart-friends anywhere they go. Like last year the people I met, I could tell that if I spent more time with them and let the years pile up, I would definitely get to that level of closeness with them (but didn't for simple lack of time). I think I may just be ridiculously fortunate that I have met such wonderful people, and happened to have had the opportunity to become friends with them.
I think that's most of my problem. Inflated expectations. I have a lot of trouble with that--being happy with how life IS, rather than how I'd like it to be. But it is a good goal ^^
