"This is a little strange because I’m only 29… I’m still processing what I wish I knew at 25. What I wish I knew at 25 I also wish I knew now.
I’ve been thinking a lot about talking lately. As in, I’ve been really trying to talk more.
In my head I’m this thoughtful, caring, funny, worldly person. I read interesting books. I’m passionate about global causes. I feel like everyone should just get that. Like, they should look at me and know how nice and interesting I am.
But that’s not how people work. I’m introverted, I’m quiet… I guess I’m realizing that if you keep it all in your head than it doesn’t matter if you’re a good person. I have to say caring things out loud. I have to tell people what I think. I have to actively work at expressing in order to be the kind of friend that I would want to have."
