Changes

[BabyPiglet]

So I just realized how much I have actually changed recently. Even since December I am just like a different person.

With different focuses, and different dreams, different friends.

I actually realized this the other day when my "friend" was over and she told me how different I am, especially ever since homeschool. She said I was "boring" because I never wanted to hang out with them, or go to parties.

I'm more focused on volunteering and school right now. I stay at home after work because I'm so tired.

I wear what I want, what I feel comfortable in, and I have developed a personality that doesn't care what other people think.

I'm more outgoing, more outspoken. I'm more confident and calmer.

I've stopped trying to be so perfect, so fake.

So, I asked my mom if she'd thought I'd changed, and she said most definitely I'm like a different person now. It's weird how other people notice things about me that I don't.

So tell me how you've changed or, what you think about changes, etc.

Discuss.

You go, girl! But don't forget about your friends.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Thanks you guys.

And don't worry Cat, I'm not forgetting about my friends.

I changed in a huge way since January.

My interests have changed in many ways. Like I have popular friends and I am considered "popular" (why, I have no idea!) I like them and they are my friends but I don't exactly agree with their ways. Includes the Josh thing.
My interest in guys has changed. Like I like a mix of guys. Some of Josh's close friends and some of Matt's close friends. I used to wear stuff that's comfortable but now I am like an Abercrombie freak! It takes me about an hour to get ready. Now that I type this I realize I am very confused. Have I changed for the good or the bad?
Jenny,
I'm thinking that you are just growing up. You're finding yourself. You're decididing who YOU want to be. I think it's a good thing.

Yes, I was thinking that as well.

I think you can interpret your changes how you decide.

This year has proven to be the most vital year of my life. This was the year I promised to "find myself" before starting high school. Did I succeed? Continue reading.

I'm weird. Everyone knows it. I'm completely hyper, and a little bit offbeat. People make fun of me for it. This is where my downfall begins. I'm also a perfectionist. My list of perfections to achieve includes being liked by everyone. This wasn't happening. So, I decided to change myself, in order to feel accepted.

Long story short - I developed a mild eating disorder. I turned beautiful days into living nightmares. I couldn't see myself clearly, I was so busy trying to fit in.

My friends helped me snap out of it. Ever since, I've come to realize that, well, think what you want. I don't care. I am who I am. Deal with it. Take me or leave me, it'll be your loss in the end. Accept me, and I'll accept you.

Also during the year, I went through a very long process of getting accepted to the high school of my dreams. During that time, I pondered how I could change, to "fit in."

Well. Now. I know who I am. I know what I'm capable of, and what I'm not. I try my hardest in everything, and if I'm not good enough, it's not the end of the world. I tried my hardest, and that's what counts.

I live my days to the fullest. Tomorrow's not a promise. I'll live each day like it's the last.

I'm still odd. I love myself for that, though.

Sorry for the long post. If you didn't read all of it, basically, I've decided to stop living for others, and start living for myself.

Some inspiration:

"I don't know the key to success, but I know the key to failure is trying to please everyone."
- Bill Cosby.

"Take me for what I am. Who I was meant to be. And if you give a darn*, take me baby, or leave me."
- Take Me or Leave Me, RENT

*Word changed.

Of course I've changed. Most people are always growing and changing. If you don't change, then you're boring.

=)
That's nice Jenny.
I've changed, but things for me haven't changed persay.

 

[tinkerbell12]

Eh, not much.

I'm just who I am... if I have changed, it's been so boringly little that I've not noticed it... Sure I've made friends, lost friends and all that jazz but nothing else that's going to change my personality... I'm me. It won't ever change. I won't ever change...

My friends have changed though. They don't accept me as me anymore. They want me to change. Those are the friends I lost.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Well Jaimie, you know about me, and after that I think is when I really made a huge change. I realized my life must not have been that great if I was thinking those certain things. It kind of...helped me. I know that doesn't make sense but well...

^^That's sort of a good explanation.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Thank you. And yeah, I know what you mean. It's like, we went through that together. Had I not been there for you... well. This conversation would not be here right now.

No, it probably wouldn't.

Thanks for being there for me Jaimie.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

No, it probably wouldn't.

Thanks for being there for me Jaimie.

Anytime.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Anytime.

I know.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

The only new change is my yearly promise to myself that never seems to work out - get and stay organized.

I sometime's don't like change.
But change can also be good.
I wish I could change some of my action's like Procrastination,Talking Back,etc.
