See that picture over there? Yup that's me, crazy me! From this picture you may think I'm super fun, outgoing, and social. Well that's not exactly the case. I'm actually pretty shy and I'm only outgoing around the people i know best. That's not how I've always been. When I was younger I talked to people anytime anywhere and didn't care. I also use to love to write fiction stories and read all kinds of books. I loved how so many of the books I read just caught my attention. I could read for hours and hours when I was younger and I wanted to be able to write fun and witty stories like the ones I read. Now i just like to stay in my room daydream and listen to music. Teenage change maybe? I'm not sure but it might seem like I've changed negatively but I am just trying to be more aware of myself and other people.

Learning to observe myself and my actions has been my key in maturing. I've learned a lot from my observations. For example, people feel awkward around people who are sad or grouchy. Also people's feelings can spread. If someone is happy that could make someone else happy and the same if someone is upset. Knowing and understanding certain things and understanding people's personalities is important to me in understanding myself and my actions. This understanding in the future will help me begin to write those fun and witty stories like the ones I read when I was younger. I will definitely begin to read more books again as well as write more short stories. So... To Be Continued!
