i used to be so afraid to say who i was - even the small things: that i like john mayer, that i get nervous at parties where i don't know anyone, that some nights (a lot of nights) i'd rather stay in and watch the burbs while we make dinner, that i don't know much about politics, that doritos are the most delicious food on the planet, that it hurts like a knife when you talk about other girls, that i'm a morning person, that i regret not being more focused in college, that sometimes i'd rather listen to katy perry than NPR, that i'm embarrassed of my job and my tiny apartment, that i love writing but i'm scared i'll fail if i try, that i've never felt worth much because i have an older brother who people worship, that i like my coffee milky and sugary...
ok... i guess some of those things aren't such small things... but the point is, i used to be so afraid to just be honest about the person i am. i feel lost sometimes. but i am committed to change. to honesty. and to opening up my mind.
i love conan... his new show is coming on soon so i'll leave you with some very smart words from a very awesome dude:
All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.
— Conan O’Brien
