Time has really helped me figure things out for myself.
One of the things I've realized is that I am becoming more comfortable in my own skin, both literally and figuratively. I mean hey, I'm paler than a white chick, but I think I'm cool with that. In fact, I kind of love it and I've been trying to rock my look with some darker locks. I think it's been going well. All hail Dita Von Teese for being my pale, glam girl role model.
Another thing I've decided on is that I'm done chasing after people who don't bother making any time for me. I have hardly been clingy, but I've put so much effort into making other people happy and now, I just feel pushed aside. I don't ask for anything in return when it comes to any of my relationships with anyone, but any kind of relationship is a team effort kind of thing, you know? I can't be the only one trying.
I'm happy with where I'm at, right now. The people I've surrounded myself with have been there for me regardless of anything and I am appreciating them more and more daily.
It is definitely a big lesson learned: quality over quantity.
