Revision
I think its about time I grow a bit. My last big jump in maturity was from sophomore to junior year. I feel like I’ve just grown accustomed to that stage of life. Thats not to say I havent changed substantially since then, but there are some things about myself that I would really like to get rid of. I do some really stupid things, express myself in ways that come off as abrasive and insulting, just things in general I wish I could take back a few seconds after them come out of my mouth.
On that note, my dad told me some pretty strong words of wisdom at the dinnertable a few nights ago. “Dont try to get rid of your faults. We’re all born with faults that we can’t avoid. Instead, along with minimizing those existing faults, focus on expressing your strengths so that those strengths will grow apparent enough to overshadow your shortcomings.”
What are my strengths? To be honest, at this point I don’t know. I’ve been focusing too much these past few years on what I hate about myself, things I hate in others, trying to get rid of those imperfections in myself to no avail that I never really thought about what my actual strenghts are. I guess thats the next step of whats to come.
I’m ready to change for the better.
