I'd say so sometimes. Professionaly yeah. In my life... it depends. In some things, yeah. Doing better than I was in some ways? Hell yeah. Regressing in others?... also yeah. Steady pace in others still? Yeah. It depends. We're all complex creatures learning and growing every day with every thing wr do.
I'd say, yes. I'm always me. Never really tried not to be. I'll admit Ive tried in the past, to change for a girl. She saw right through me. Kind of got a bad rap in her clique. Not a smart move.
Never change for anyone, unless it's you, that you're changing for! Not worth it. People will use and abuse people, and use them like a doormat. Not cool!
