When did I become so reserved?
I used to be the life of the party, never could shut up, and I was always ready and more than willing to voice my opinion. And I of course, had an opinion about everything.
And today I realized that I am not that person anymore. And I don't like it. I feel boring and reserved and closed up. I don't feel very effective as a teacher, an adult, or a human being. Granted, I am not a law breaker or anything (and I don't want to be)...but I really don't like who I have become. I am not boring, and I never was...so what happened?
I have become so concerned with what people think of me, that I forgot to think about what I think of me. Guess it's time for a change. Granted I have to make this change while still being 'the adult' in my classroom (not like I feel that way now)....maybe this is why I stopped taking pictures, and painting. Time for a change.
