Dear Me After This Challenge,

I hope that you can be able to say that you talk to people more often, at least the people who I don't talk to very often right now. People who don't know me very well think I'm shy and don't talk very much, and I want to change that image that people have and show them that I'm more outgoing than they think. I hope you've done that by then. I want them to be able to know the real me, not a cover story that I might have to protect myself. I want to stop being the person who can't make decisions because they hate hurting people's feelings. (Yes, I know that I still don't want to hurt people's feelings, but I still can't just use the excuse of being completely indecisive.) I want to stop being so self conscious. Whatever people think, it doesn't matter. They just don't understand who you are. You already know that there's only one person that you can be, and that's yourself. BE YOURSELF.

Love,

Lauren
