Weekly Summary: Abby describes herself as a "vanilla-sweet, plain and not very exciting" kind of gal. This summer she decides to be less of her restricted self and more outgoing especially since she is in a totally new country, once living in New York and now living in London, away from her parents.
Weekly Thoughts: Why is it that we only find enough courage to be someone new in a new location?-where we are isolated from all the people we know. Is the lack of self-confidence and embarrassment enough to stop us from discovering ourselves? Do we live in a world that makes our self-confidence feel so judged and scrutinized even though normal people, like us, do not live under the microscopic eye of a celebrity, not want to be ourselves? Life can be hard especially if you have to break out of your usual self to become more of you, the growing you. You shouldn't let other opinions bother you in the process of breaking molds or becoming yourself. I sympathize over private lives being displayed and studied. No one person wants their private lives to be displayed. So, the next time you are about to eavesdrop into a conversation, stop yourself!
