I’ve changed, alot.. Not only with physical looks, but with my perspective in life and how I look at things.
As I talk with my friends, they usually (if not always) tell me that I’ve changed. It’s annoying sometimes, but I’ve already gotten used to hearing, “Is that really you? It’s like I’m talking with another person!” I really can’t blame them, I even surprise myself with how I react to situations now.
Before, I was very conscious not to change while in Japan. I was thinking, I have a “reputation” that I need to hold on to. My family and friends knew me as this person, so I was trying to hold on to that “person”. But of course, as I experience life, with no pressure or influence from my family and friends, it’s impossible not to change. I’m just glad that as I change, my family and friends also accepted and welcomed the changes that happened to me. After all, I believe these changes have improved me.
