Speak your Mind

It has been quite some time since I have posted. I have been very busy with school and moving and such. I have learned a very important lesson though that I did not learn from my school books. I have learned that it is very important to speak your mind. I had held something inside for months and then I finally talked about it to the person that it pertained to. The conversation had not gone how I had hoped it would but nothing changed between me and the person. Even though nothing changed and I didn't get the answer I wanted I feel a ton better after getting the weight off my chest. I said things didn't change but they did. It became easier to hang out with this person and it also became more fun. I am glad that I spoke my mind and have realized just how important it is to do so. If you keep things bottled up then they never get resolved and you wind up hurting yourself and possibly others.

I have also learned another lesson. You can only be yourself. You can not be what others want you to be or you will never be happy. I have finally come to realize that I was not happy for so long simply because I kept trying to be what everyone else wanted me to be. Now that I have said screw that I am so much happier. I am even comfortable in my own skin which is something that I have not been in a very long time. It feels good and it really boosts your confidence levels up when you finally decide to just be you.

Basically the moral of this blog is to just be yourself and to always speak your mind. I know that both of those are very scary concepts but once you start doing them you will wonder why you had not been doing it all along. Till the next time.
