/lit/ - Literature

One of the things I want to do in the latter half of my 20s now (I turn 25 on Sunday) is become more decisive and confident. I feel like a lot of the time I worry about being wrong because then it means if I get it wrong I open myself up to somebody pointing that out and so I don't like to make any decisions at all. But as of lately I've felt like making a decision, even if it turns out bad is better than trying to keep things from changing around me (as change is, after all, inevitable).

I'd also like to take more risks in terms of presenting myself in terms of my true thoughts and feelings. I feel like a lot of the time I hold back too much because I feel like I don't want to risk offending anyone, but the effect of that is that it keeps me from forming really deep connections with people unless I am willing to show that side of myself (I've noticed I do this with girls a lot).
