I should be braver

  1. Junior High School and the majority of High School were a sort of torture for me, so when I got accepted into the college I wanted I made a promise to myself to be more assertive.

    Compared to how I was before, I think I accomplished it rather well, I'm still a bit shy around new people, but I guess that has to do with the rotten humor I carry sometimes.

    Things don't always go they way one wants (it's some kind of Murphy's law), but sometimes they come out so out of they way from what I wanted or expected that, I dunno, it's kinda discouraging.

    Sometimes I wish I could be extremely violent and break things and smash thing and kill something, just to let out some steam....

    I shouldn't be complaining about myself, dammit! It's pathetic!

    It doesn't matter if you are more assertive or brave.
    What matters is if you are happy with yourself? You should never let anyones action make you think you have to change about yourself.
    You should always know you are you and never forget that.

    In my experiences, I have learned that it's not necessarily what happens, but how you react to things that determines who you really are. Being more assertive is something that you will grow into over time if that's what you wish. With me, it didn't happen overnight, although the army did help a little. I'm still timid sometimes, but I think that a good amount of assertiveness will cause people to respect you, too much, they might fear or loathe you.

    Act the way you think you should act. Don't let what others say get to you are you happy the way you are daughter?
