Reflection

It's been almost a year since I graduated college with a bachelors degree in English. Even  though I wasn't able to technically go out into the "real world", I've learned about a lot of things. About how the world works, how people change, how I've changed, and life in general.

Even though I'm constantly plagued with that nagging self-doubt I have, I've discovered a dream I buried deep. It's a constant struggle to prove myself when there is so much disbelief around me, but I'm trying. I know more about myself than I ever have. That's quite a powerful thing. Yes, I have changed. Quite a bit actually. To be honest, I'm quite content with the person I am now. The person I was when I was in high school was not a happy person. I was miserable because I felt like I had to conform to whoever they wanted me to be. Either way, I was miserable, I guess.

By the time I graduated college, I changed who I really wanted to be. I make no apologies for what I want to do. I'm not going to let anyone walk all over me any longer. If you don't like me, then that's your problem. Take it or leave it. 

I also rediscovered my passion for writing again in college. One day, people will notice my talents. If I change a few misconceptions about people and life, then I've done what I set out to do. It's not a selfish act. It's not some trendy thing. You can take that or leave it as well.

So, watch out for what I can do. You're going to be pleasantly surprised once you see it. Once you experience it.
