When you can't recognize yourself Sometimes when I look behind and think about how my life was only 8 months ago, I get kind of shocked cause at the begining of this year I was a very different person. During the last months I have done things that I had never done before, I have experienced a lot, learned a lot, incredibly grown; I have gone through very sad and depressed situations, but I have also had lots lots of fun, probably as never before. In the other hand, there have been also things that I'm not so proud of, but despite that, I believe that now I'm a better person. In days like today, when I have the time to think about all of this, I wonder if I'm still that 8 months ago girl, just hidden behind this another girl, or if now I'm this new person. It's true that people, things and circumstances change all the time, "There is nothing permanent except change", but when this changes happen so fast, there are times when you watch yourself in the mirror and barely recognize if that person is you; at least that happens to me.

When you can't recognize yourself

Sometimes when I reflect look behind and remember think about how my life was just only 8 months ago, I am get kind of shocked because at the beginning of this year I was a very different person. During the last few months, I have done things which that I had never done before, I have experienced a lot, learned a lot and incredibly grown incredibly. I have gone through very sad and depressinged situations, but I have also had lots lots of fun, perhaps probably as I have not never had before. On the other hand, there have also been things which that I'm not so proud of, but despite that, I believe that now I'm now a better person. On days like today, when I have the time to think about all of this, I wonder if I'm still that girl from 8 months ago girl, just hidden behind this another girl, or if now I'm now this new person. It's true that people, things and circumstances change all the time - as they say "there is nothing permanent except change" - but when this changes happens so fast, there are times when you look atwatch yourself in the mirror and barely recognize yourself  if that person is you Or: 'barely know if the person is you' depending on exact sense; or this happens to me anyway.

During the last months I have done things that I had never done before. I have experienced a lot OF THINGS , learned a lot, incredibly grown; I have gone through very sad and depressed situations, but I have also had lots lots of fun, probably as never before. In ON the other hand, there have been also things that I'm not so proud of, but despite that, I believe that now I'm a better person. In days like SO today, when I have the time to think about all of this, I wonder if I'm still that 8 months ago girl, HAS just hidden behind this another girl, or if now I'm this new person. It's true that people, things and circumstances change all the time, "There is nothing permanent except THE changeS", but when this changes happen so fast, there are times when you watch yourself in the mirror and barely recognize if that person is you. At least that happens to me.
