What I regret most is not being as expressive about things I am passionate about and what I believe in, in my "younger" days. I was always that nerdy, soft spoken kid and I was a follower. I was always standing in other people's shadows, never defending my own thoughts and beliefs. I was too scared to take charge and I was too busy trying to please others. I was oblivious to the fact that they could care less about my happiness or what my opinion was. The more I mature and start to really find my identity, I have just become so much more aware of the person I am becoming and standing strong in any way I choose to express myself. I don't waver in what I have to say and I stick by it. I don't let others influence my view of things and I have realized that the world isn't one big bundle of sunshine. We have to get by as best we know how and fight for what we believe in because in the end, all we have is ourselves. I think I might be a modern-day hippie, at least in spirit. I am all about love for one another and all that other stuff I'm not getting into right now but I am my own kind of person. I decide where my life will take me, and that means living out loud, and not in the darkness of someone's shadow.
