Me, Myself, and I

I was never one to be alone. I always used to hate going places by myself and doing anything without company. I can now say that I have changed.

I don't know what made me this way. Something happened this semester that has made me so comfortable in my own skin. I have not felt self-conscious in a while and have oozed confidence in every part of my life that I can think of.

Maybe it was my room mate moving out. I had to learn to be comfortable with myself. I literally spend hours every day with just me. I never sleep, so when the rest of the world goes to sleep, I only have myself to stay with. I can thank my room mate for loving me and leaving me. She is such a good friend and I miss her, but at the same time, I really love the new me.

Maybe it was receiving the most truthful insult of my life. I had to come to terms with aspects of my personality that I had never looked at before. My aunt said something to me that she intended to be nice, but it was actually a back-handed compliment. I had to take it in stride. And truth be known, she was right. And I am okay with that.

Maybe it was coming to terms with my future. I realized that my job might not be perfect for me, but it was the responsible thing to do. I became determined to keep with my current path so that I may afford to live a life that is healthy for me.

Maybe it was a lot of things.

Whatever it was, thank you. I love myself. I have never felt that way before.
