I have no personality.

The older I get, it seems, the less of a personality I feel that I am able to have. Perhaps it is the gradual wearing down of all that fervor and spunk everybody is born with. Some people get theirs beaten out of them, or worn down, at least, to a trickle. Other people cultivate theirs and those around them have happily assisted ( Read more... )

friends, goals and achievements, the female of the species..., coulda woulda shoulda, maintenance, social encounters, the oh nos! of dating, t, t9ing

To me it just sounds like you've grown and matured, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure you're still spunky and all that, but just more mature and controlled with your emotions.

Yeah, I know...but I always think, "Is this IT? Have I mellowed out so much at 29 that I can't be all spunky anymore even if I TRIED?" Haha.

I don't mind being mellowed out and calm, but I think it makes me feel like I'm not being 100% myself.

Personally I think you are like Wonder Woman in all her wrist-cuffed glory. Forgiveness is a sign of a big heart, an open loving mind. That is more than can be said for most people, including me. When one is as busy as you are (especially right now), it is difficult to feel like anything other than your job or your classes. But you are. And you realize this is just a phase, a step to where you're going. The Jenn I know wouldn't let her personality be ground down to the mealy bits anyway. If my some stroke of unearthly powder it happened, she'd certainly go down swinging.

That is supposed to say:

If by some stroke of unearthly power...

wow that's so interesting. i want to say that it's not true but the more i think of it, i agree that it is also true for myself. maybe it's not that we have less of a personality but it's just that our personalities are more reserved and less showy. maybe our personalities have just matured.

I totally understand what you mean. I can say, for me, that there are only specific times when my personality really steps out and shines, but I think that's just a part of aging. I don't put myself out there like I did when I was younger as often... maybe if I'm a little drunk or something, but otherwise I'm a bit quieter. Maybe it's just part of the natural process?
