stronger

i've always thought myself to be a bubbly and nice person--easy to read, easy to gauge.

but this year i think i've become slightly more introverted--

it's probably a result of living alone, learning how to enjoy time by myself, and not feeling odd for being alone. it gives me the time to reflect. i enjoy it, and doing so lets me appreciate good times with others that much more.

i feel more confident, more sure of things.

but on the same note, my tolerance at times dwindles, because i'm done being nice to those that don't deserve it.

in a world where everything is so accessible, things are instant and easy,

i've gotten better at filtering the things and people that are really important to me, and push the rest aside. i won't burden myself with that anymore--guess that means i won't be as "nice" as i was before. my instincts are usually right the first time.

i catch myself being bolder, more aggressive.

maybe it's the haircut (;

one down, four more to go.
