have you changed in the past year?

[Sharon]

lookin at old threads to recreate some and bring some life to this BORING forum... apparently i made this one in 2012

i have changed SO much i have so much anger towards everyone and it's so unhealthy i have been hurt more in the past 12 months than i will be for the rest of my life, indirectly by family and directly too like the fact i've managed to stay sane is already an achievement for me lol i think i have got stronger as a result however as it forced me to grow up about four years worth within a matter of days as i was essentially left to defend myself and my siblings the day my exams started and i still came out with better results than 3/4 of the year. i've learned to not put up with **** from others and to be forgiving for people's mistakes. i cry so much now over the smallest things too like at least 3 times a week over small little things i have a short short patience span and still don't know how to handle being upset

i rely on my bf so so much to be ok with my feelings and calm me down/make me happy that if someone took him away from me i'd probably run away because i wouldn't be able to cope it just sucks to know i'm so reliant now as he was there for me to depend on all last year. we're in such a good place now that i slowly think that everything bad between us made us stronger like he does SO much for me i don't know why he even wants to care for me 24/7

tldr: hurt last year, cry all the time now and i rely on bf to FUNCTION but happier than ever with him and i'm angry to everyone else

Yeah I think I have changed a lot because of the opportunities I've been given. Last summer I got promoted to supervisor and in September moved away for college, both of which obviously changes who I am today.

This past year has probably been the biggest change I've gone through in life really. It's been like a milestone in setting goals for the future, working on my confidence and gradually getting where I want to be.

Went back to college on an access course last September and I've loved every second of it so far, met some lovely people and discovered that I severely doubted my own abilities and strengths before. The fact that I'm getting distinctions in all my assignments in all of my subjects is just mind-blowing for me, and I guess proves that if you really want something and work hard for it, it can be achievable!

I was lucky enough to get offered places at all of the Universities I applied to, and will be studying Education in Cardiff this September! Will mean I can finally quit my job, aim a bit higher and can finally move out and be a bit more independent woo!

Yeah i feel like im becoming a lot more independent in my life and more and more confident
