living for today

Often times, I struggle with meeting people for the first time. I think it's because first impressions are full of awkward first time conversation. "Where are you from? What school do you go to?" Blah blah blah. I guess the goal of first conversations is to find something you have in common, but I'd rather find out what you are all about. Instead of finding out what we have in common, I want to know what makes us different, what sets you apart from everyone else, what makes you you, what makes you unique.
