As hellish as this week is turning out to be, I can't help but notice that I'm finally starting to become so much less self-conscious about myself in so many regards. It's amazing what one is capable of once they stop caring so much about how they appear to others and just be comfortable being who they are. It's such a simple concept, but it makes such a difference.
I'm not sure exactly where and why the change took place, but stepping outside of my comfort zones has yielded so many positive results. Granted, I'm still spending a lot of my free time at shows/bars/events, but I feel like now I'm starting to get to know so many fascinating people just because I'm happy to be myself in any given situation these days.
I'm sure the rush isn't going to last forever, but for the moment I'm really enjoying the ride. I just can't get tired of this city because of sporadic moments like these. Maybe my enthusiasm's been momentarily fueled a bit by moped rides in 30-degree weather/beer, but it's a feeling that has been very much missed.
Unfortunately, my Hallowe'en is still screwed up by the Marines, and work is being stressful as of late, but the people I'm meeting these days and the friends I have are really giving me a positive outlook on things despite the minor adversities.
Everyone, hey: Thanks for being awesome.
friends,
