Hrm.
I've recently realized that any restrictions placed on me in regards to sharing my feelings, acting how i want to, just being myself in general, are all self-imposed. Not that i'm massively altering my personality or behavior, but there are just sometimes where i feel like i need to keep to myself just because i feel awkward, or like there's no reason to bother saying anything, or because i'm just plain shy. This isn't a recent thing; i think i've always been this way, but it's really starting to... annoy me lately. Not quite "bother" me, it's not *that* strong, but it's enough that i'm making a conscious effort to change that. If i say or do something that someone doesn't care for, i'm not going to be hated or scorned, i will be politely informed to not say that. If i state an opinion someone doesn't share or like, then that's alright, it's *MY* opinion. :P I need to remember that.
It's not like i haven't always known that, but i just have to get over my apprehension. I'm going to try.
I also believe i want to make a physical change. I kind of feel like cutting my hair. I just can't decide what would look okay on me. I'm used to having some hair to hide under. I'll have to think about it a bit. :)
I think it's time for some clam chowder and crackers. Mmm. And later, maybe some more of that yummy wheat toast and hot tea like i had earlier.
