someone once told me

that people change for two reasons: either they learn enough that they want to or they've been hurt enough that they have to.

well well well...so 'yun na nga. i feel that i have changed drastically, both for the better and the worst, if that is at all possible.
if being honest and saying what i want and think, standing up for myself (as tactfully as possible) makes me a bitch or masungit, then so be it. i can honestly say i do not care what other people think, and i say that matter of factly. i am more quite concerned with my self-acceptance than looking outward.
this new gig of mine, where i :inherited: mga anak (ie. people to manage) is new ground for me and it's been one hell of a ride. everyday, i am stretched, tested, wrung though a drier and sometimes it gets toxic. at the end of it all, it's been my choice. standing up for it and being accountable for it gets me through my days. the rewards have been great, not amazing, but getting there, getting there.

yeap, i have changed but i am still the same sweet sane silly crazy girl i know, thank god. new things, lots of new things, new places to be at, different beliefs, same simple joys, hoping for the same dreams, creating new wishes, rushing to tomorrow, balancing my today, taking every day one at a time, reinvention.
for once, in a long time, would you believe, i do not have a 2, 3 or 5 year plan? gosh. it kinda feels free.
