I never change, I simply become more myself. Joyce Carol Oates
I have LOVED my 30's. LOVED THEM. Why? Because I have settled into my skin. I'm still doing some settling but mostly I've become comfortable in myself. So while it seems to others, and even myself, that I have changed I haven't really. I've just become more myself. Some people have decided they don't like who I am and we have parted ways. That's okay. Some people have decided they do like who I am and they have stuck around. That's okay. And yet others (probably the ones closest to me - family and spouse) have decided that they don't know who I am and they are watching me settle in and the jury might still be out! Ha! That's okay too. There are days that I look at myself and wonder, "Who AM I?" And there are days that I'm not sure if I like who I am, who I'm not, who others think I should be. And then I remember that I'm settled and settling. Becoming more of me. And then I'm okay. How about you?
