How Have You Changed Over The Last 10 years? Not just looks wise,but Intellectually and Philosophically. Are you better off today? | |

Like hokie said, "more settled". Definitely happier.
More focused and determined. Less caught up in drama. Just have no time for it. | |

I've accepted myself for who I am and how I am, with all my flaws.
I've grown more impatient and less giggly. I trust less people. I can count those I consider friends on one hand. I don't care for random people's opinions of me anymore. The only people's opinions of me who matter (somewhat) now are my mom, my Creator, my bf & my closest friend. I carry this phrase in my head at all times: "Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind." I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh | |

Ex-Moderator | In some ways I’ve changed a LOT, in others, not at all.
I’m healthier, I think. I eat better, exercise more and I’m no longer a party girl. I’m a little more open-minded than I used to be, though I never would have considered myself close-minded before. That took years of distance to see. |

I'm braver, more outgoing (but still pretty shy), wiser, more open-minded, healthier, and more fit (but not at my goal yet) If you will, so will I | |

I've had a lot more fun in my 30s than I ever did in my 20s. I feel a lot more like myself now than I did back then, if that makes any sense. I think in my 30s, I developed (or "grew into" might be a better way to say it) my inner and outer syle and became more comfortable all around. | |

I think so and even in the past year I notice continuing growth as I feel we all learn everyday. I can say now I can totally accept me and love me for me. I'm really crazy now and I speak my mind. I used to be quite shy. | |

so drastically that those who know me still think it's some sort of a lame joke they just can't buy into the idea of me being polite or even worse, shy | |

How weird... I was just thinking about this last night before I fell asleep ...not so much how I've changed over the past 10 years, but over the last 3 years. Of course, I've changed a lot in the last 10 years as 10 years ago I was just about to turn 14 . I've changed quite drastically in the last couple of years. Of course, some things never change, but my goals have changed, the way that I treat people has changed, I'm a much nicer person, I'm much more outgoing, I take more risks, I have much more confidence in myself, I don't put up with as much bullshit as I used to, I care less about pleasing others and do things that I feel are right for me, I'm much more independent... a lot is different.
Am I better off today? Hmm, I don't know, but I do know that overall, I'm a much happier person. | |

Well ten years ago, I was 13/14. Ahh 1999.
~I wrote macabre poems and got in trouble for writing how I felt. ~I was sure I was gonna be um....hmm...I really never thought that far. ~I was CRAZY about Prince to the point where I'd blast the Greatest Hits album beyond an appropriate level. ~I felt awkward all the time ~I um...ahem....discovered myself... ~Loved my Gameboy Color ~Sporty wear was all I wore Span to today! 23/24 ~Still writing. ~Very expressive ~Still awkward but for the most part very laid back. ~Very sure about what I want to do (be a writer) but still having issues with the "backup plan" just in case I don't make it ~Not all over the place with the hormonal sex stuff. XD I was so dirty minded back in the day... ~Big heart, level headed ~I can't get enough of head scarves and tie dye stuff ~Love my jogging pants but rock jeans and stuff sometimes ~Can't go a day without playing some kind of game [Edited 2/2/09 12:38pm] | |

10 years? whoa, HUGE changes
My values have changed drastically. I no longer have (as much) a tunnel vision about my career. I am more well-rounded and balanced as a person. I have a new-found fondness for people and a loving open heart! I am more practical, less idealistic, and have thus removed huge amounts of strain and friction from my life. And finally, I feel more wise. I'm getting so old I feel I can see through people sometimes, see the shit they put on themselves. A lot of that old crap I have released. | |

wow! alot has changed in 10 years! 10 years ago i was living at home with my parents, i was 20 years old, and i didn't know what i was going to do with my life at all! i was searching and trying to find myself. 1999 was the first time i ever traveled to brazil, and that's when everything really changed for the better for me! a whole new world was opened up to me that i didn't realize was out there.
5 years ago i got married, 4 years ago i had my son, so alot has changed. i would say i'm much happier in life now than i ever have been before. [Edited 2/2/09 22:18pm] | |
