Whereas I used to love snuggling in my own little comfort zone and resist so badly against anything that threatens to break this ideal bubble, I now embrace different things and new situations. Challenges? Bring it on! Seemingly insurmountable tasks? Let me handle them, so I can get that sense of achievement once I tackle them and successfully conquer them.
Nothing can hurt as bad as being lied to, played around with and failed by someone you won't mind giving up your life for, someone you thought you would spend your life with. And once I recover from that setback, nothing else that comes my way seems difficult any more. Once I have conquered the seemingly unconquerable, everything else dims in comparison.
Whereas I used to thrive on other people's directions and driving, I now make my own decisions and stand on my own feet. I drive my own life, and bring myself to places I never dreamed of going. Instead of waiting and expecting you to fulfil your empty promises, I have made promises to myself, which I can be guaranteed of being fulfilled. No more waiting and failed expectations. When I say I'm gonna do it, I will do it. I won't fail myself. And I won't lie to myself either.
