Care less about what people think of me
Untitled 8 months ago
I want to learn to accept that:
  • I will sometimes have different perspectives from people and
  • Sometimes they will not like me for that.

If I care so much about what people think about me, my opinions, my strategies for dealing with situations, and my perspectives on different issues, it will only breed stress and it’ll also end up hurting my self-esteem. And even compromise my certainty about my identity. I let that happen to me too much.



go skinny dipping
Untitled 8 months ago

I was on this social retreat with my a cappella group and we all stayed in a cabin near a lake. We had a really intense bonding session earlier. Then we were partying late at night and a lot of us were pretty drunk, and all of us decided we should walk to the lake and skinny dip. It was FREEZING, but it was beautiful because it was completely dark except for the moonlight. It was pretty romantic, in a group love kinda way.



be more assertive
Untitled 8 months ago

I am at a point in my life where my shyness actually has the potential to harm my career! And I’m also realizing how important it is to actually keep your friendships past the certain phases in which you make those friendships. No matter how impermanent you think life is, it doesn’t have to be so fleeting all the time..
