I'm 26, yesterday... so more age equals more interesting stories hopefully... :-)

 

I feel like I'm not necessarily getting iwser, but getting more experience... and listening to myself more... when your young you are so concerned with what other people think about you and how they see you... and not to say that I still don't have those sorts of feelings... but with each passing year they become weaker... and I focus moreon what makes me happy and comfortable... not to say that I don't test boundaries and new things, but that I try not to live my life for other people any more... and that is really making me happy

 

I really love Cindy's entry today... because I think I'm in the second stage she is talking about... after the awkwardness of highschool... my coming out in college... the renaissnace during my years at work... and now grad school I still believe i'm in my social prime... and I can see the good and bad things about myself... the bad things dont bother me as much as before... and I know the type of person that will appreciate everything about me... I'm not everyone's taste but I know that I'm somebody's... I know the things that attract others the things I love about me...I think you've inspired me Cindy...

 

When I look in the mirror I see things that make me happy to be me... and I don't think I would like to be anyone else... and that's such a profound thing as a woman when so many things around you are telling you to be something else... something skinnier, prettier, lighter... whatever..

 

I'm quite content right now at 26... doing what I need to do career wise, being quite realistic relationship wise, and spreading my wings socially... did I tell you I rode a mechanical bull last weekend?!
