it took awhile but i'm finally growing into my skin. i've been making an effort to take care of my skin (ie dilligently putting skincare in the mornings and nights), and making the slow transition from wearing foundation to BB cream to going somewhat bare-skinned (just some sunscreen, undereye concealer, a little bit of blush).
i'm exercising more in an effort to get fit so i can do my pole tricks. and it took almost two months but i'm starting to see results, i'm close to getting my front splits :)
eating better is an uphill battle for someone who loves food (i am a glutton, sadly) but i'm determined to get this done.
but those are just external changes. i'm slowly accepting my strengths and weaknesses and working on them both, challenging and knocking down my fears, one at a time.
i'm finally starting to understand that change takes time-- all sorts of change, but most importantly change with regard to people. i'm not the most patient person (hah, sometimes i think i've gotten worse at it over the years) but i'm trying.
i'm liking my twenties much more than i liked my teens. i'm... happier with myself now.
