It has been over eight months since I began this particular journey. I've been trying new things, pushing myself to make meaningful friendships, and focusing on becoming a person I could like and be proud of. Although I'm far from perfect, I know I have thus far done a decent job in my efforts of reachin my goals. I can feel a change in myself, and in a good way. I know I have a long road still ahead of me, but even with setbacks that I've had to persevere through, I know I am on the right track.
Also, note to self: Stinky tofu is really stinky and disgusting!
