Jaded

[brideofbeowulf]

Tonight I've been reflecting on how I've become meaner and more judgemental in the years since college. Jaded would be the proper word, I suppose. Is it because I've been taken advantage of a few times and lived to regret it? Or just because I've been running with a rougher crowd? Probably a bit of both.

I'm far less sensitive to others' feelings in my rush to defend my own interests. I'm determined not to tolerate any bullshit.

I've learned how to say no but forgotten how to say maybe.
