How We've Changed Over the Years

[miradapurple]

Everyone changes, with time. Time erodes at our lives, bending, breaking, forcing our way. How have you changed? How has anyone else you know changed?

Tell. We're all curious.

I've definitely matured.
Well, everything has changed in my Life.
Not to offend anybody who doesn't believe in God but,
It's actually written in the Bible that change is a good thing.

[Ho-Oh]

I've matured a lot. I'm so surprised I didn't know simple things that I didn't know when I joined here. (Also can't believe that I wrote some of things in my old posts)

I definitely have matured quite a bit and am less bitter and angry than I was years ago. So I guess I changed quite a bit.

Although once I look back at my posts from 2003, I can't believe how nooby I was back then. In my defence though, I was much younger, and I could at least put together a coherent sentence unlike many people on the Internet.

I've changed a lot.
It's noticeable, even these past few months, at least to me.
I've been becoming a lot more motivated and active in clubs and things.
I actually do my homework at home, rather than between periods at school.
I've also stopped procrastinating so much.
Also, I've been trying to be more talkative and friendly.
I think it's mostly been good change, so far,
except for perhaps my physical self.
I have lost a lot of weight, and it's noticeable,
over the past year or so, and I need to lose weight, so I'm happy for that.
But, I've developed more medical problems, it seems.
Or perhaps, I've just suppressed them for so long that it's become worse,
and they're only apparent to me now.
I've had an ear infection for six months or more,
and taken countless medication for it,
but it just doesn't go away.
Anyway, back to how I've matured....
well, admitting my faults and problems is definately one.
When I was younger, I would brag a lot,
think I was superior to everyone, yady yady yada.
Anyway, now, I am a whole lot more modest.
Actually, I've lost almost all my self confidence, which is not good at all.
I have to try to find a median, rather than going to extremes like this...
But, I do have more of a worldly understanding of people, which is good.
I can see people for all their worth,
and realize that for every fault, each person has an asset.
That, I feel, is a very good thing to have realized.
Anyway, that's all I can think of for now. ^_^

I think I've changed over the years as well. I think I've gotten more mature and that I've grown better at what I enjoy doing. Physically, I've found myself much stronger and fairly taller. (My posts have gotten less spammish also. *shudder*) When I look back to when I was younger, it's startling to remember all the things I wanted to do then that I can do easily now.

Though, now that I'm older, my daily homework amount has more than doubled... -_-

Hey Pikalover, what verse is that? I'd like to look it up sometime.

Hmm...
I matured a lot. Yep, I don't act too childish like before.
Years ago I didn't knew for sure what i wanted to be when growing up, but now I want to be a Psychologist.
Oh, and also, my drawing skills have got better with the years.

Yep, its official, people can change a lot within a few years.

[Fazzy]

Yep, time can change people. They can change, for the better or the worse.
I'd like to say that I've improved on awesomeness.

Internet Provider: AOL Dail up (arrgh!)
Began writing some fanfiction... first date at age 12 (i think) went to see Harry Potter & Philosophers Stone.... it was really more of a double beings my older two Best friends at the time came a long aswell, make sure we didn't get lost...
Sweep moved in after my granparents passing after Christmas 1999.
Mobile Phone: old Sagem (Vodaphone) then Nokia 3210 (Vodaphone)

14-16

This one was taken at the last day of Secondry, aged at 16...
Began listening to more heavier types of music... launch of a local radio station that specialised in Rock, at the time my parents were divorcing. Seeing a lot less of my dad's side of the family, well, both sides in a way as dad was the only one who drove a car.
Watching more Anime, at the time was Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo, Tenchi Universe, still watched Pokemon as well,
Having the stresses of Moving, GCSEs, and Mother blaming anyone else but herself for the causes of them, were very mucha leithal mix. Luckily I had at least 1 grade higher than a C - which was a B - lol

began college LATE due to the moving.

Mobile: Alatel One touch - (Orange)

17-Now

Photo: aged 19,
No real change in music taste, heavy metal and some anime...
gone through about 4 mobiles and jumped back and forth vodaphone and virgin, before now being on my 8th phone (Apple Iphone - on O2) no more jumping around networks, chaning my mobile number all the time - lol

fair lot changed in this chapter
Met Ian, in college, became more of a couple when working on a media project, didn't like running then, still don't now... he left just before my 18th bday for a job, but he popped back on that day... suprised me completly...
Lossing Sweep hit me most, cried for days on end.
Had a fair share of emotional turbulances, still try to keep strong. Becoming engaged was very much the major highlight, even tho the topic of wedding is rather much distant at the moment, more focused on the jobs, and getting somewhere to live comes a higher priority

Over the years, I've gone from Little Girl to a young Woman... with still more road ahead, along with it's forks and turns.
