It has been awhile since I have journaled, but I feel as though it is
something tha tI should be doing, so I thought I would take some time
to do so and (hopefully) make it a more regular occurence.
Recently, I have been getting very frustrated with the way I deal with
stress. I have become way to reliant on working through things
with others and while this is helpful and somedthing that is important
to maintain to a certain extent, there are certain situation in which I
feel it might be inappropriate to do so, or similarly, there might not
always someone around who knows the situation as I do. Plus, I think I
need to start relying on myself more for answers so that I have
confidence in my thoughts and myself as a whole.
I am also finding myself in quite a transition period of my life-
emotionally, physically, academically and otherwise. I am going
through therapy, trying to determine some future goals and plans while
coming to grips and accepting and embracing myself. While others
often provide great insight and often offer perspectives that might not
have been first on my mind, I am me. This is my lfie, and only I
truly experience what it is to be this person. I guess my goal is
truly to be someone that I am proud of, someone who I can feel good
about, someone who is closer the person I want to be the. The
thing is I haven't known where to begin on this process, I have been
wanting to start for awhile. I have had this idea of what I don't
want to be more than I can truly put my finger on the reality of the
situation. This is also something I want to work, ceasing (or at
least limiting) to remind myslef that which I am not, while trying to
stop pretneding to be someone else. And what better time than
now? A time of transition where I am given the opportunity to
reevaluate, question the reasons and motivations of things that I
represent currently and suggest to myself improvements I would like for
the future.
Change. It has this weird way of exciting me and freaking me out all at the same time.
