un-inhibited How you present yourself to the world is how the world will perceive you. It's nothing new that most people say I'm this nice, quiet, and conservative girl. In fact, most people would flip out if I do something crazy, something very uncharacteristic of me, like speeding on the freeway, smoke weed, or take that 7th shot of Remy (not that I do ALL of those things, but hey, I could!). I used to hate it when someone calls me "nice." It sounds very dismissive, black and white, and it made me feel like I'm being put into this two-dimensional box that's not very true of me. But now I don't mind it so much (I can be called worse!). I know that people only see what I choose to show of myself. I realized it's not in my nature to be open with EVERYONE I encounter. There's only a few with whom I feel comfortable enough to let in, a few who get to know the real ME beyond that superficial nice and quiet facade. other thoughts Life is 99% attitude, 1% things that happen. When it comes to my life, I don't want to sit on the passenger seat. Life always throws curveballs at ya. You don't know what lies around the corner, and you won't find out unless you open your mind to the possibility. With that said, never say never. Be kind to yourself and know that no one is perfect. Nip bad habits / bad thoughts in the bud before they go haywire. Thanks Anne for a VERY good talk! :) Altoids make CHOCOLATE-covered mints now! It sorta defeats the purpose of having a mint, I guess, but I really like them. Hmmm ... chocolate. :) I pop them in my mouth like candy. vegas, baby! I can't wait for the summer!! I'm postponing my visit to California until mid-July, after which I'm going to Vegas with my classmates from Chicago. Anyone else down to go to Vegas with me?! =] |
