This current post is not really a rant, rave, or ridicule. This entry is going to deviate from what I typically do in this blog. In fact, this entry is going to talk about something I've just begun doing and I am hoping to continue to do more of.
The other week I realized that one of my biggest character flaws is an unwillingness to open up and trust people. It's essentially a defense mechanism that I've developed and employed since I was a young child. However, I'm 23 years old and surrounded by adults. I feel that by this point the majority of people around are mature enough and frankly, I should be mature enough to handle all situations that come my way. Since that realization, I have begun to open more frequently to people about problems that are plaguing me. The list of people includes very close friends, fairly new friends, and even my grandmother. Although, everyone should be able to open up to a grandmother because they are at that point where they are a mecca of knowledge and wisdom.
Anyway, since I've been opening up about all things positive and negative I have felt more relieved. Initially, I began to use this blog as an outlet for my frustation, but I've since expanded to being more personal with people. It's definitely been a good thing. All in all, I was able to deconstruct myself and turn one of my flaws into a positive aspect.
In the end, it is my hope that I was able to open your minds to some new ways of thinking and feel free to contact me for future discussions.
