Compare yourself
Just for fun:
Compare yourself with how you were exactly one year ago. Pick one thing that has changed a lot, and one thing that is the same (or more, I guess, why not).
Example:
Changed: last year, had breakfast every morning. Now, I don't except for occasional coffee.
Same: "I'm Henry the Eighth I Am" is still the most-played song in my i-tunes.

Changed: I used to be afraid
Changed: I used to be afraid to tell anybody I was gay. Now I hardly have a selection process.
Same: My bestest friends Q and A (NOT QUESTION AND ANSWER) are still my most trusted and loved friends.
As I entered the room, I found myself filled with regret. Why am I doing this? All I know is: God can only tell me what I am searching for. I kneel and pray. Truth floods into me. I feel lonely.
Hm...
Used to adore maths and the sciences...
Now I absolutely hate them... I'm totally into english, literature, drama and musicals now!
One year and seventeen days
One year and seventeen days ago I admitted to myself that I was wondering if I was gay. It was exceedingly difficult to finish the thought.
I'm out to many of my closest friends now, and it doesn't take a Herculean effort to walk into a GSA meeting. :-)
Same: hmm. I still really want to be one of those people who goes insane with Christmas decorating until their whole house looks pretty. Though I guess this year I'm a bit closer to achieving it (I bought a Christmas tree for my dorm room).

I was in the closet to most people, bar a couple of friends.
Now I've come-out to loads more and have started to mingle with some fellow gays....it has been tough but so worth it.

Different: So much! Umm...
Different: So much! Umm... how to choose... Became a professional cook, lost my best friend of 15 years, gained a lot of perspective and confidence, started drinking, got over my ex-girlfriend, declared a major and a minor, decided to stick it out here, invest myself in school and not take time off.
Same: Not a ton. Still at the same college. Have one close friend that's the same here. Have one close friend at home that's the same. Still a farmer, still want to change the world.
No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless; there is too much work to do.--Dorothy Day
Different: A year ago, I was
Different: A year ago, I was somewhat mentally unstable. Now, even though I have ups and downs, I am a lot more stable emotionally and mentally. I got a lot closer to two of my friends (including S) and drifted farther from a somewhat harmful one (my ex)
The same: Lots; my adoration of dance comes to mind.

Different: Last year, at this time, I had no idea what a panic attack felt like, and I didn't know I was having them. This year, I know what they are, and I can deal with them.
Different 2: Last year, I wasn't talking to either of my best friends, this year, I'm no longer best friends with ET, and wolf and I are closer than ever.
Same: I'm still in love with R, and...I really can't think of anything else, even though there's a ton of stuff...I think. :) lol

Umm lets see.... I'm still
Umm lets see....
I'm still an artist... But then again, that's been true for the last what? 16 years? Heh. I dunno, as long as I can remember anyways. And I... Can't really think of anything else that's stayed the same since last year. Nothing major anyways. Ha.
And as for what's changed....
What hasn't changed about me? I mean, I was still trying to convince myself that I was a girl then. I got over that (thankfully) and I'm a lot more easygoing (Maybe TOO easygoing.) than I was then..
I think that these changes were for the better. Well, maybe I should be a little less laid back... But whatever, it's better than stressing over nothing all of the time.
