I'd like to think I've become a better, more mature person overall. Sometimes I'm not so sure though.
I am stronger, independent, balanced and lacking drama from my life by choice, fiercely positive and happy for the most part by choice.
I have become a better person, overall.
better: more independent, accomplished a lot, overcame many struggles, opened my heart to a serious relationship, traveled, learned about myself. worse: still a bit insecure, i allow the strengths of others cause me to feel less competent.
For better. I have opened up to the world and have become much more adventurous and tolerant.
Personal life has definitely been on a happy track. I have great friends, been outgoing, and been exploring much of what life has to offer. Career-wise, I think I need to put more effort into being just as happy as I am in my personal life.
I have learned to lower my tone of voice when having "talks", I'm less angery, I complain less, I don't get mad if I don't get things my way --at least too long. I say I've gotten better.
I hope I've become a bit less mental -- becoming more patient and prepared to compromise -- in my approach to relationships
Worse. I'm so jaded, weak, ugly, and fat. Urgh.
Absolutely for the better. My spiritual growth is phenominal!
I have become more gentle and patient. I am also more sure of what I want so I don't always give the benefit the doubt as I should. I avoid drama if I can which can be both bad or good.
Worse: I've become very tired of giving so much all the time, hence I'm more introverted, more careful of my time & what I do with it & who I give it to. I'm not as out-going or care-free
I think I've changed for the better. I can still be very selfish but i am less so now. I am also less focused on keeping score with what others are doing in their lives and living my life to the fullest and making myself happy even though I make less money. I am most easily stressed and my scars from my past relationship have not healed. I still crave drama occasionally which is bad:)
I've gone from being single to being married and now a mother of 3, I think it's definately better. I love being a wife and mother!
I'm more exhausted and pushy, but I think I'm much more determined to do things myself because of it
