My Independence

"Independence doesn’t mean you don’t need other people or care about what other people think about you. Independent people seek things which empower them (things that allow them to use their strengths) instead of enable them (things that allow them to defer their development). It doesn’t sound to me like you need enabling, but you haven’t found someone who caters to your strengths."

I think it's that I get convinced that I need all these things because of the environment around me sometimes can get me thinkin', maybe I need this, maybe I'm supposed to have that, maybe I should do that.

This and that I'm feeling incompetent in my academics has facilitated my reversion. Though I have made some progress, I have built up some intangible barriers and thus developed the fear of new things.


But I like trying new things. I went out and I learned how to Latin dance. It was through my initiative that I went by myself and had some a great experience.


Back in high school I would try to volunteer, find stuff on my own - do that volunteer thing at Tarrywile Park. I did the pole vault - an amazing amazing experience!

I feel like I'm slipping. Losing my independence.

But I am finding it again. =D
