i'm me, who you?

Okay, so I'm really thinking about this now.

There are definitely things that are worth changing about yourself. Sometimes, other people and being in a relationship specifically, can really key you into some major issues about yourself and the way you deal with other people.

But where is the limit of what you change?

I mean I guess it depends on the person and what seems reasonable and beneficial to the person doing the adjusting. But that can be a tough call.

I don't want to be the kind of person who says "I am who I am and that's it." I don't want to close myself off to improving who I am, because if you're not growing, what are you?

But I don't want to take everything that other people don't like about me too seriously. There will always be someone who doesn't like something about you. How do you know when to remain steadfast and dedicated to your way of doing things, and when to take another way of being into consideration?

Maybe the trial and error is just one of the things that makes the journey...such a journey. And maybe...more fun and interesting.

Or maybe it's really tough and I'm just a hopeless optimist :)
