I think I try to think more of people who do strive to something but not think less of those who don't. You know? I like normal people, I really do. Some of my oldest friends are truly lovable persons with no goals at all. I don't despise normal, I'm comfortable with it. But people who self-improve I admire, I'm excited about, I sometimes love.
Anyway, you're totally right, it's rare, it's difficult, it's hard. And yes, this is exactly what I'm warning myself about in this entry, this kind of arrogance. The path between 'liking normal and being excited about spark-people' and 'priding myself for being sparky and looking down at normal' is very, very thin. Part of truly being a self-improver is to never think of myself as done. Perfect. Even: better than others. Maybe I'm further along the way than most, but not worth more. Especially since I do seem to still have to find a way to be proud without being arrogant. :D
And about romantic relationships: Do you know any male human who's like that? I just know they have to be out there, but I can't seem to meet any. And I do know, wait, 6 girls like us, probably more I forgot right now.
