How different am i over the years?

People say we tend to change over time and years. This includes personal appearance, persona, looks, hairstyles and personal dressing fads. I guess in every word it is true. I may somewhat looks the same( well, it has to be since i did no plastic surgery) but in a way of styling my hair, the way i dress myself up, my characters and my way of speech do change over years as i grew up to be more mature and wiser. I used to be Mommy and Daddy's little girl, yet now i am more dependant on myself. Working lifestyle have definitely put up a tremendous change in me. Especially when you're quoted under the word 'Management'. The responsibilities changes as well. While, i was young, my parents had to burden themselves with the task of my upbringing and all i do was to ensure that i do my lots, as being a goody girl and study really hard. After the phase of studying and over the teenage years, i came into the big two at the beginning of my age of which i explored the most overwhelming stage of growing up challenges in adulthood life. I started working and i really mean work. Setting my foot in the real world at first was a true big challenge of which i, at times tend to give up. Just as lucky as I am, i started to realise with my parents motivations, that it could be as good as it gets. Just like the thought of Jack NIcholson in the movie of AS GOOD AS IT GETS, that every changes that takes its ways in our lives may do us justice. Of course, there were few challenges that wasn't easy to partake but we learned a good deals out of it. I have to admit that every failures that came knocking on my doorway to success have taught me a thing of two about life. Being in charge of my department was no easy task. Having to put up a brave front not to succumb those bastards that just wanting to knock you down like pins being knocked down by a bowling ball down the bowling alley, overcoming the great job tasks of getting the deals from customers, Working hours which slaughter me from my good night rest and lifestyles,having to contain oneself from the mood swings while serving my monthly womanhood period and others ard me. Containing my anger from bursting when my customers was a hell of jerky ass and pressuring me to get their deals on time, followed by the swings of good to bad to great moments in relationships....ARGGGHHH...it's so tiring being a working adult. Then came the serious moments of being in a relationship which then led to marriage and having the other you in your belly kicking happily in a way of saying 'Hi Mommy' while you just have to stay poised no matter how painful those 'HI' kicks were. It does sound serill but the thrills over it was way more than you could expect. For example, after basking yourself with the turmoils at work, not getting much needed rest and fighting self mood changes to put up a fake smile and lighten others face up,carrying out the project with much anticipation, diligent and a spirit of 'it's my responsibility' to get my project done within deadlines. Apart from making my customers happy with my professionalism at handling their projects and getting things done way better than they expected of me, was a plus at the end of the day. Then, comes words of commendations from your superior on your work just simply have got me a ticket to indulge myself further in acquiring better success or plainly serving my job with greater pride. Another part of life, came the series of break ups with guys, relationshps that overturned, arguments that just won't stop with friends, boyfriends,parents, colleagues, etc. The continous life routine of tribulations and financial stability that needed more grooming in. Of course you tend to complain and scream and messed up your well done hair looking like a lunatic at the process of success.Yeah! life may seem hell but with patience,adding kilos of the fighting spirits, being optimistics and learning from the ropes of experiences and failures, life will turn to its brightest point and once you reached the mark, the profusely smilling face and self praises will start pouring down, as you stood lying back and enjoy all the hardwork that you had put in. The hell feelings will in turn gave you the GOOD feelings that you're feeling at the very moment. Fret not of life tribulations and challenges. Just put on those fighting gears and continously saying your prayers to the Almighty to help you through those courses of life. Patience is an asset and with it in you it will lead you to the saying 'patience and perseverance yields success'.
