The Real Me

by Danielle   Feb 1, 2007


I always thought I was my own person; an individual, who didnt care what others thought about me and that I knew what I wanted. But lately ive realised that that isnt really true. ive always been defined by other people:
When i was young i was defined by my parents and grandparents, then as i got older and a bit more independant i was influenced by my friends and then i was defined by whoever my boyfriend at the time was... and its not till now that i realise this, and how others have always felt the need to manipulate me, or take control of my life, and ive let them. But now its different because I see whats going on around me and what people are doing... so now Im taking control of my own life and becoming my own person, a confident individual who knows what she wants... and its all because of him.
