What has been the biggest change in you over the past decade?

omg - so much has changed that it's difficult to think of what changed the most!

My views on religion, faith, family, politics, the world, my self, having babies - they have all been major!

10 years ago I hated that I was Mexican. I hated that some people labeled me as 'exotic.' I hated that I had dark hair and dark eyes. I wanted to be the all american girl with blonde hair and light eyes - that had (in my mind), a 'normal' background without a trace of exotic.

Does that sound like me today?

And if I described what I thought on all the other topics I mentioned, you wouldn't recognize the me of today in that description either.

:D

Well, I'm glad to know who you are now...

Because you're awesome :D

Ten years ago I was suicidally depressed and struggling to find reasons why I should live. I was broke, full of rage, and loathed myself.

Today I am in love with life and the world around me. I cherish every day and can no longer imagine wanting to die before my time. I am, overall, peaceful, optimistic, and happy in my own company. I'm not rich, but my life is incredibly abundant.

Life is beautiful when you can live that way! :D

Hmmn... My location has changed, I'm a little bit taller, I weigh about the same, my attitude is much different though.

I'm now more concerned with me and less concerned with what other people think of me. I'll still do as much as possible to help my friends but I won't be a doormat. I've accepted myself for who I am and am now more happy than not.

I still don't know what I want to do "when I grow up", mind.

:D

It's good not to allow yourself to be treated as a doormat :D

More things seem to get on top of me.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:(

Ugh...

10 years ago I was madly in love, and the most annoyingly happy person you could me...now I'm still just as in love...just not sure if it's such a good thing or not.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Just as in love...

It can be a good thing :)

Becoming a mother. For the first time in my life, I've learned there actually is pure and unconditional love for another human being. For the first time there's someone more important than me. Someone else's needs go before mine, and someone else's happiness is all I need to be happy.

It's been amazing, seeing that change in you, love... :D

My daughter is the biggest change in my life, so I'm guessing she has changed everything I do and think now

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Yeah... :D

[flutterbychild.livejournal.com]

I honestly would not even know where to begin to answer this question...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

As long as you're happy now... :D

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Tons of things, normally in the last 5 years or so.
I can't really narrow it down.I had a lot of changes in myself after my miscarriages, then here was my divorce and coming to terms with that to getting remarried a couple of months ago.

*hugs you tight*

The biggest change in me...

[mikesmaddie.livejournal.com]

...over the past decade is that my anger has lessened.

Hope that you and yours are doing all right, that things are going okay, and that the rest of the day goes all right for you all.

Hugs. *HG*

God bless and take care. :).

I'm glad your anger has lessened :D

[1jodie.livejournal.com]

that's a loaded question. i'm 31 now, so it was my entire 20s. i learned about who i am.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Yes... learning about who you are is an awesome thing :D

[indigobluejelly.livejournal.com]

I am happier with who i am.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

YAY :D

My biggest change has come in the last few years. I've become more aware of myself. It's still a change in progress, but before then.... man, I was oblivious.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

It's sometimes scary, looking back and seeing how little you knew of yourself...

[beatzz.livejournal.com]

Learning. I learned so much and not just about shapes and colors like 10 years ago.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

So true :D

[donor4him.livejournal.com]

my weight. oy.

:o/

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

*hugs you*

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

The biggest change?
Mentally: Learning to be very blunt, almost to the point of brutality.
Emotionally: Not taking responsibility for other people's thoughts, choices, decisions, words, and/or actions.
Physically: It's a toss up between tattoo work done and the ear surgeries I'm going through.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That bluntness is a good thing!

*love*

[elysiankitten.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd grown up but fuck if I know.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

We grow every day :D

*hugs you*

[honuhoney.livejournal.com]

learning to love, accept and understand everything that makes me... me.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Awesome :D

I have suffered a 90-5% Death of Personality within the space of five years. But, I'm nearly done with the new model. Lookin' good - much better and more stable. Still awaiting a few upgrades to come in to complete the package.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Definitely lookin' god bro!

And those upgrades? Soon... Definitely soon!

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

I can stand on my own feet and build a good life.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Sweet! :D

[hippie-geisha.livejournal.com]

I've definitely mellowed....

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Mellowed is gooooooooooooood!

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

I'm not so easily spurred to anger. It's drugs controlling it lol, but it's controlled.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

*brotherly hugs*

[uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com]

It's a toss up between learning to cry and learning to say no!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Both are necessities...

[evergladesqueen.livejournal.com]

losing weight.
*hugs*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

*hugs you*

I had a kid at 35. Nothing changes a person like that does.

At any age, it would change your life, but at 35 you think you are who you're going to be, and that it's all set in stone. Wrong! :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Very true!
