So, ah. (All my sentences begin like that. I've got to start getting more creative.) For some reason I've managed to become really comfortable with myself lately. Someone tries to offend me and all I can do is shrug. I look like crap and I can't be bothered to care about it. I get an average grade and I think, "Oh. Cool." That's... weird, for an emotional mess like me. I can actually get myself to do my homework without too much trouble, mostly because I manage to notice when my head is playing tricks on me and I can tell it to shut up. There's still tons of things I've promised/planned to do that remain unfinished, but I'm getting there. And hey, I can actually keep myself away from reading slash fics obsessively until early hours of the morning (well, okay, not really, but at least I manage not to walk around like a zombie all day). I do things that make me look like a reasonable person. I can also go to school without too much shit (I always get so depressed and guilt-ridden whenever I skip school too much, even on those days I feel so scared I might piss myself). I can acknowledge that shit happens and allow it to pass without kicking a big fuss over it. I can recognize that I'm being a self-pitying attention-whore and laugh it off, because, dude. Everybody's like that sometimes.
It feels so weird. I haven't felt this type of confidence before. I can suck and be totally okay with it. Really. I look horrible in photos, I'm terrible with kids, I'm clumsy, I say stupid and entirely inappropriate things, I avoid things I hate, I always play safe -- I can list up a million other downsides. But it doesn't matter. Actually, those things have started to make me feel a lot better about myself. I'm human and totally okay with it.
I guess this is what it's like to not take yourself so damn seriously. It feels nice. Really nice.
So how are you guys doing? Like, seriously? I can barely keep up with all your entries, which pop up like, what. Ten times a day? Geeks. ♥ (Not that I actually have a life or anything, I'm just too busy reading sappy love stories. You know me.)
