becoming a grown up?

"and the day came that the wish to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." --anais nin

Yesterday, I turned 21. Legal. Adult. whoa... Like I should start growing up or somethin.

back to the above quote {Rantings}...

That is where I am at. and I like it...

Blossom...

maybe a corny term?

But it's true.

part of the blossoming...is not sitting back and doing whatev, ya know...

confidence

sticking up for my convictions

except...I tell people what I want and I still worry sometimes.

What if I come across as mean or selfish, etc.?

That is one aspect (or rather two aspects?) that I don't like about myself--

-I worry.

-I hate when I don't have control.

(don't worry, my life is not spiraling out of control or anything like that)

more like I want control over specific situations.

That's something I have to work really hard at.

going with the flow.

but believe me, I'm trying.

just keep going.

very calming.

the point of this post...i guess

strengths and weaknesses.

happy valentines, peeps!

xoxo
