We have been through several phases of our lives and it is those phases that shape us as an individual; maybe not as a whole but partly there has been a shift transition between what you were to what you are now. In other words, you are not the same person you were a year ago. Forget a year, you aren't the same person you were in the beginning of the year.
There is always a shift in your personality no matter how much you think there isn't because it isn't a drastic change and it can be for better or for worse or even both. Those who think that there is no change in them at all is also a change but not in a good way as if you aren't growing as an individual, you end up being stagnant and whatever you have is deprived of you.
This blogpost is about how I evolved as a person, maybe it doesn't seem to others, but I am sure I am not the same person I was a year ago or even a month ago. There are still some traits in me that have not changed even from the beginning.
For instance, I am still that shy person hesitant in asking something and delays that eventually, I get easily angry, I can remember things vividly from the past. Now I am not so shy that I can't interact with people. With people known to me and if we aren't that close, it is a task. The irony is that I can interact with strangers very freely and with people known (some people) can be a task at times.
Back then, I was conscious and worried about what people would say and feel handicapped. It also bothered me when I get ignored or disregarded by people I try to regard. But now I really don't take care.
Earlier I didn't know what I was saying and doing and usually end up looking stupid due to peer pressure, but now I am aware of what I am saying and doing. (And if I don't, I won't say or do it.)
It all depends on the surroundings you are in and the people you are surrounded by as well. I became a little more open after joining the university in Bangalore. I made that choice as I wanted to be in the open and feel liberal and independent and it helped me in a way. Now I am in an even better space and I have got to utilise it in the best way possible. But yes, I have changed for the better and I have got to push myself harder for the betterment. Well, that's a work in progress.
That's all for now, thank you so much for reading. I will see you at the next one.
