5 years ago, I was finishing up law school. I am much lighter now than I was then, so that is good. However, I am not happy with my personal growth in the areas of confidence, assertiveness, communication, and personal relationships.
I have been working hard on being happy, letting go of my wants/desires, having compassion, being mindful and aware, going deep into my practice. All these things came from my partner and trying to be his mirror. I am not the same selfish and angry person I used to be, thanks to him.
Stayin out of more trouble
Better. Last year i was into druga and had a major downfall. Now im totally clean and everythings good:)
5 years ago, I was 27 going on 28. I'm a lot thinner now, a bit more polished, relatively confident, and much more secure in who and what I am. To focus on the negative, I have yet to conquer all my issues like annoyance/anger and I still could communicate better.
I'm a better man and father. I look at my relationship in a healthier less selfish way. I spend more qualtiy time with both my son and fiancé. Im more patient and understanding and have a better understanding of myself.
Gotten better at trying to take care of priorities, worst on taken care of myself
Well I use to be give up easly, but I have grown to become fighter
Better and worse I lost a lot of friends made some good ones but I'm happy with how I turned out if other ppl don't there just haters lol
Ive grown up a lot and figured out more what I want for my future.
For the better. More focused on family and our relationship
For better!! I stopped hanging out with guys who just wanted to get with me stopped letting my "friends" take advantage of my good nature. I became a housewife instead of a party girl 3 nights a week.
I have become less negative believe it or not. I am more optimistic, hopeful, and daring. I have more of an open mind to experiences in life like trying new foods, trusting new people, and banking on thoughts that I may not have all of the information to do so at times.
For the better. Over the last 5 years, I learned that my happiness is important, and made changes to my life to be happy and get rid of the negative people/things. I have also learned what is important to me in a relationship, and how I want my children to grow up learning/seeing what love is.
Changed for something good
