What makes someone want to change themselves? For some it's hitting a low and realizing that something has to improve; others have satisfactory lives and just want to make their lives even better; And some are just bored with they way they go about each day and want something new. Maybe impressing others is another source of motivation.

In my case, I have a few reasons. One is spiritual. Lately I haven't been as connected to God as usual. Whenever I go to God, its only to ask for help to get through the day. "Dear Lord, please help ___ + I continue to just get along well. And if it's in your will, bring ___ to you." And so I've resolved to make knowing God a little more and loving him a little better the priority of my day. When I got home today from school, I thought I wasn't going to be able to accomplish this, but then I came upon Eugene's entry that brought up 1 Corinthians, and after reading it, I got something out of it.

The other reason for changing is part because someone has definitely influenced it, and other part boredom. I've changed my music tastes a whole lot since the summer. This school year I've been introduced to a few artists that I knew were out there but never looked into. Some artists I'm listening to now include: Lupe Fiasco, Snow Patrol, Benny Benassi, Gym Class Heroes. My clothing style has changed too. I can't think of a good reason why all these other changes are occurring other than to make a better first impression when others see me.

High school peer pressure? Sometimes it feels that way. Subconscious effort to impress girls? Sometimes it feels that way too.....
