Lately I've been
wanting to make a change.
Not just in myself but
for the better of those
around me.So when I
recently found quarter
life I thought this would
be a great step for me. I
feel that where I am
physically and mentally
and geographically is
restricting my
capabilitys. And I'm so
tired of constantly
wanting to change, then
realizing that any
efforts made really
didn't do anything at
all. I think my problem
is even though I tell
myself and others that I
don't care what anyone
thinks and I'm fine with
myself, the truth of the
matter is that I'm
not.Unfortunately I have
a habit of tricking
myself into thinking that
the "improvements" I make
in myself are for me,
when really I think
these"improvements" will
make me more likable or
appreciated. I think part
of it is that even though
I am compassionate for
others, I'm still
selfish, even though I
don't hold myself in the
highest of standards, I'm
still vain and even
though I want so bad to
make a difference in this
world, I stand still like
a lazy fool. Its like
this constant battle
between who I am and who
I want to be and the
result is a stalemate.
So how do I do it? How
do I cross over enemy
lines? I'm so sick of
having this passion and
being restrained by my
own will.I want to be
selfless and strong make
a difference. And I know
that to make a difference
in others you must first
make a difference in
yourself. Its just how to
go about it.And that is
my delima...
