A New Perspective
I've always kind of viewed myself a little harshly, I guess. Instead of a confident, self-assured adult that has her shit together, I've just always thought of myself as scrambling to find my place in the world. I still think of myself that way. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about thinking about trying for my Bachelors degree, and he said "You know, I've always admired you." When I asked him why, he said "Because when something doesn't work out for you, you always try something else. Things don't work out for you often, but you're always trying new solutions." I realized in that moment, that I am. I do that. Sometimes it takes me a while, and I hardly ever make the right decision, but I am always trying to figure out what will benefit me. Maybe it takes some extra time, and a lot of mistakes, but I always keep moving. I've got a lot of flaws, but at least I try.
