I'm an independent person. I'm going to do things that maybe don't sit well with people. I think that I'm
trustworthy enough to be left to my own devices. Most of the things I do, I do for me.
That being said, I don't always think about what other people with think or feel about me. Some people find this to be an
attribute, others a fault. Either way, it won't change that I walk boldly forward with whatever I decide.
Some things I don't do alone and I do consider the other person. Sometimes these things are
sensitive. For me. Regret isn't something I want to feel after the life I've led. I'm done looking back and feeling sick about what has occurred. That's why I do what I want when I want. I'm tired of worrying.
Things That Have Changed About
Katie:- Regret
- Appearances, specifically what other people think of me, not so much physical
- Drama, I don't create and I don't partake
- I used to be pretty high strung, not so much anymore
- I used to let things get to me, but circumstances have dictated that I either let things go/roll off my back or be consumed with overwhelming stress
- Now, Katie is priority one. I love my family and my friends, but I just can't pander to them all.
This may all sound a bit cynical or harsh, but I don't think I would be able to survive much more of the crap I've had to deal with in the last year if I didn't thicken my skin a little. I still love everyone, and I still care. Sometimes you have to just take care of yourself first, before you can think about what other people need.
I'm still the same girl, just a little smarter but at the same time a little more guarded. Lots of things have shaped me to be who I am now. Most of them bad, but quite a few marvelous.
