Rescue the amazing person I used to be

School started back up, and I almost lost what I’d finally regained. For a while, I was completely panicked over not being recognized for the unique individual I am, but I’ve finally grown accustomed to the idea that a lot of my uniqueness is in my personality, which I don’t show much in school settings. I realize that to be noticed, I’ve got to put something out there… and doing so has earned me the recognition that I need to feel like my good ol’ self.

I think keeping a journal is a good idea for anyone who’s lost themself. It’s nice to revisit your old self, and see the progress you make, but I think there’s even more good in it than that. Sometimes the ‘losing’ ourselves is just being in a funk. Writing can help get all the unresolved issues and the awkwardness that stems from them out, and restore us to what we used to be.

Seriously. Find a pretty notebook, and devote it to free writing.

I’ve finally done it.

I think that, with school out, I’m more free to be myself.
I’m at peace with the fact that I like nerdy things, and I’m not afraid to persue those crazy interests anymore.
I’m nearly finished with my rubik’s cube.
I’ve gained a new appreciation for “Avatar: the last Airbender”
And I’m okay with finding volumes of solids of revolutions to be my favorite part of calculus.
I’m proud of myself for getting only one B on my report card
[a B+ might I add!]
And I’ve admitted to myself that Disney movies are bad things to watch continuously.

This isn’t quite what I was hoping to be.
But it’s me.
