Perhaps A Good Answer

A couple of days ago I had a talk with my cousin about how your friends, and basically most people you’re surrounded by, to some degree indicate what kind of person you are. Of course, a person's personality is a mad complex thing and not to be rendered solely based on the people one knows, but I do think there's a certain argument.

I took the bus home and found myself looking out the window the whole ride. I kept thinking about my friends and family, and the people I know. It made me realise that I’m a super fortunate person, because I mostly have people around me that I genuinely like. At least for now I can spend time with people who I actually want to spent time with.  

The thing is, I’m not sure how long I can say that about myself. Most people who have jobs also have colleagues, people above and below them they don’t even know, they maybe don’t even want to know. And yet they have to spend half the day with them. Maybe that’s a good answer to the question that won’t leave me alone. What kind of job would I like to pursue?
