wow. this is a great post. thanks!
1. ah it is true that a lot of my friends are different from me. but we all share relatively the same goals and needs which bring us together. we have positive outlooks and always want to persevere. "i am women hear me roar"
2. ah i am always trying to be the best version of myself.
i am a pessimist who trained myself to be optimist and an idealist who
trained myself to be a realist and try to follow intuition as often as i can... you are the choices you make. but i should seize the moment more often.... carpe diem.
3. now this is a bit tougher ;P i need to up my physical strength and start working out.
4.i take things day by day and try to live in the present instead of thinking and worrying about the future. but i'm not *afraid* of it. and i have plans. not solid "this is exactly what my life will be in 10 years" plans.. but enough room for it to change and grow without losing its original intent. i like to think of my life thus far more as a compass to this goal, instead of a carefully planned out roadtrip map ;P
5. just remember to take a deep breath... *breathe*
6. i agree. even working out for 20 minutes makes me feel a lot better about myself
7. i never regret mistakes because i can learn from them
8. yes! i used to be a pretty bad pessimist. but one quote that really kept me going in trying to change my out look was "i have this theory that if we're told we're bad then that's the only ideal we'll ever have"-jewel. so i was told i was shy all my life. is that what makes me who i am? if i want to i -know- i can change.
9. mmm and people will notice too
