Express Yourself - Reflections

For some reason, Mariah Carey's "Reflections" comes into my head when I think of Self Reflection, so here, enjoy one of the saddest songs in the world.


Welcome back to Express Yourself! Brought to us by the dynamic duo, Jackie @ Bouquet of Books and Dani @ Entertaining Interests.

The question this week is an interesting one, and I just copy and pasted over it. *sigh, goes back to Dani's page* Here it is. lol

Is there anything you'd like to change, or work on, about yourself this year?

One thing I keep failing to maintain is my weight, so I would really like to get in shape this year and stay that way. I'm getting to an age where I don't have the drive to do it, but I will be forcing myself this year.

Less superficial, I would like to find a balance between my passiveness and my outspokenness. They're both reflections of the shy, aim-to-please girl I was when I first moved to Delaware and how I was when I decided I wasn't going to care about what people thought as long as I spoke my piece. There must be a happy medium in there.

I also want to get out of this house. I'm such a hermit, and that's a family trait that's been passed down, and I need to go ahead and break that so I can meet people.

I'm a hermit as well. It's so easy to hide in one's comfort zone.

I'm a hermit, too--definitely a hard habit to break! Good luck with this, along with everything else you hope to change!

Great post!
I'm like you, in that, I would like to find a balance between my passiveness and my outspokenness, too. :/
