Notice: Most of my blogs are never personal. I do not like to talk about myself too much or to disclose a lot. However, it’s a new me. It is a new day. I would like to share more personal blogs with my audience. I also want to thank each and every one of you for being loyal readers. I truly appreciate it, and hope that I can keep my writing interesting enough for you to keep visiting.
Overtime things change and people change. Some become independent, control freaks, uptight, or free floating. We notice the changes accruing however, when do we realize that these characteristics have yield to the extreme?
I never changed because I had power or an ego. I changed because of every challenge life has thrown at me. I use to be a sweetheart, easy going and flexible. Overtime I started to adapt characteristic of extreme black and white things (either it is or it isn’t, yes or no), too independent to the point where even if I did need help I would never ask, and too structured. I want my old self back. I want to stay independent but don’t mind being taken care of, I want to do things on my own but if someone offers help I want to be able to accept, I want to be flexible, have fun and enjoy that ride. In order to do all that I need to lower my guard and that is something I am not willing to do at this point in time.
I went from someone who had feelings and who could feel emotion to someone who is numb. I have felt so much hurt and pain that I can’t feel anything anymore. I found it unsettling but at the same time I would have to say it was the best feeling in the world to feel cared for and to feel special. And then it disappeared. If I never feel that feeling again it’s okay, I’ll live. I just hope that one day I am lucky enough to feel that daily.
Currently, I do have a good head on my shoulders. I know what I want in life, I know where I am going, I have a plan and goals. I have a successful career that I thank god every day for. I have amazing friends who are there for me and a family who cares for me very much. Yet, I am working on bettering myself.
