This quote seemed a little relevant, although I'm not sure how much I agree with it: “It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us, and makes us unique. It’s not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right, your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound reinvention.” -Conan O’Brien Yeah, I suppose that speculating on what I'd like to change isn't necessarily the best thing, but I'm curious as to how people do change, or whether they want to. There's a balance between being who I think I am "naturally", and being who I'd like. I try to be more confident or think of others more that I find myself "naturally" doing, although at that point it's pretty semantic.
