I think I've been off my writing for too long, I've got lots to say. That's not necessarily a good or a bad thing, but in my case... I HAVE to let it out.
I guess I'm figuring out more and more that I'm a real girl. I can't hide behind my father anymore and pretend I'm not what I am. More and more every day, I get that I'm a girl and the more I accept it, the more I can act like it.
I've been known as somewhat of a tomboy in my teenage years, one my friends even went so far as to call me a butch...
So I've sort of stuck with that definition of me for a long time. Until I started looking at the girl in the mirror and seeing more of the young woman inside me. A totally new person. Sexier, funnier, full figured and proud to be such, with a lot of personnality. Don't get me wrong, I'm not made up entirely of qualities. But those I have, I'm attached to. I love my qualities and I embrace them as well as everything else (well... I try to... :P)
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is you have to find out who you truly are. Not what others see in you. Taking a good look inside can do a whole lot of good !
It's hard though. Seeing what's there and what's not. Trying to understand who you are is a tough task, but you gotta start somewhere. I suggest you start slow ! :)

It's Been A While
So... it's been a while since I've written a few words. I kinda feel like tonight's the night. You know, I usually talk about relationships and stuff, but I feel like writing about something else.
I feel like writing about good and bad people, being positive and the link between the two. Even though I've been through a lot, I still believe in people. I still believe that people are good and generous and brave by default. Some people have tried to convince me otherwise over the years, but I can't dull out the voice inside me who begs to differ. I do have a knack for being stubborn, but this is what I really think.
I don't think you can be born a bad person. Unfortunately, some people go through things that make them steer towards the darker side of life. I think it's really sad, but I also think that your life is a series of choices. Even when you're young, if you can tell the difference between good and bad, and you choose the latter, then you'll possibly always choose that option. I don't think it's the easiest way out, sometimes it can be quite hard to surf on the dark side, but I do think it can be a lack of perspective and a lack of goodness in life.
That's why I believe that we should tell others what their positive side looks like. I think people don't give compliments enough. True compliments. Compliments that come from deep within, that you can't deny. If someone looks nice today, I'll usually tell them. Even though I don't know them that much. Then I explain the preceding theory, so they'll do the same for others. Sort of "Spread the Warmth" effort.
Anyway, if someones lacks positive feedback in their life, especially when they're young, they just might turn out good anyway. But those who don't, can spend their hole life wondering what went wrong, and never figure it out.
But I think it all comes back to choices. You can choose to live like a good person, make good choices and have a positive impact on the people around you. If ou choose wisely, you can see the difference rather quickly. But you'll need a brand new set of glasses to do so. A different perspective on life is, in my opinion, a great way to change your life. It takes effort and a bit of time to let the habit set in, but good things take time !
