Its a violent revolution.

In my life today, it is incredibly easy for me to say, i LOVE who i am, who i have become, how i have grown and learned through these crazy years of my life. I can say that i was a privileged child to have such an understanding and strong mother figure in my life who not only let me become this person, but actually encouraged me to. I look around at people i once knew, changing who they are and putting on some kind of mask, changing in many ways, not always for the better. However when i look back on my life all i can see is progression to the person i am today, slow and steady on the hill upwards. Ive become such an open and loving person who is able to joke around and let loose. I have taken down many walls around me that i once held up with years of training and distrust. Tanner said to me last night as we sat alone in the darkness watching the boondock saints, " i love how outspoken you have become" and it really hit me in a beautiful way. Its true that i have let myself open up more to the people around me and i dont always have to keep my thoughts to myself because no matter how crazy they are, people usually chuckle or sometimes burst out in laughter. Ive learned that the very, very few times that people look at me with a confused face is worth the plenty good memories that have been spawned by my crazy little brain.
