I have many changes to make, and lessons to learn: I need to be more hardworking. I certainly have the ability, but I'm so damn lazy. I should be less openly judgemental. Honesty is great, but I hurt others' feelings too often. I should gain more weight and muscle mass. I have good structure, but I need some bulk. I need to improve my sleep habits. It's not healthy to rely on medication to stay awake. I should start learning to play a musical instrument. My elders always tell me they regret not having done so. I should be more active and social. People like me, but I need to get out there and live a little. ________________________________________ In recent months, I've made many great improvements: I've begun to dress much more nicely, and I plan to go out and buy a lot of new clothes sometime soon. I've learned a lot about myself, and even about relationships. I've recently been much more strict about my personal hygiene. We must always remember to take care of ourselves. I've been smiling much more lately. Not only that, but I smile better in pictures now as well. I've been a bit more focused on my schoolwork. I've never been good at walking up and talking with strangers, but just yesterday I started talking to a girl I'd never met before.
