I'm trying to be a bit more human, again.
How, might you ask?
Well, first, I started reading books again. Paper books. It's been a long time since I've done that by choice.
I forgot how much I like the smell of books. How much I loved just the experience of holding the book and flipping through the pages.
I finished Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda in less than a day, and started The Help.
I'm the lead in the school musical, too. I play Mary Poppins. It's exciting, because it was only two years ago I even started thinking about doing anything to do with performing arts, and just over a year since I first got into it all.
And don't even get me started on music. I've found my two favorite bands (The Beatles, and Panic! At The Disco, pre-split), some good friends, and have managed to get over my first major teenage heartbreak, for the most part. There's still a few bumps I'm working out, but nobody said I couldn't take my time.
For the first time in a long time, I'm happy and comfortable in my skin. I don't have to lie and say I think I'm an attractive person. I'm finally starting to genuinely believe that, maybe, I have a few things going for me.
Maybe being human isn't the worst thing.
