A new start

Nov 03, 2004 17:20

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.
