"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
~Velveteen Rabbit

An entry I had written quite some time ago...

I don't know what happened to me. It was just like a shedding of old skin. I do that with everything in life. I shed old skin, old clothes, old friends, old ideas. I have to be moving forward- always. I cannot work backwards. I left everything I was behind, to be come this new version, this better idea of myself.

A lot of people got left behind. A lot of beliefs abandoned. And maybe that makes me coldhearted and just... scary. To have the ability to just pick up a new identity like that. But what is more beautiful than that?

One day I just woke up and became this extroverted, rebellious, wild thing. The quiet, shy girl with low self-esteem vanished into a smoke of sultry femininity and sophisticated sex appeal. He told me I became mainstream. The unique girl he used to love and admire turned into another stereotypical pretty girl on facebook who is posed holding a martini at a fancy Vegas club in her display picture.

I don't really care. To live life means one must constantly evolve. I shed my old skin and became the pretty girl. So what?

Some people just want you to stay theirs. They think it's the change that did it, but it's really just life.

It's like a song I listened to was called.. Evolve or Die. You have to evolve, it's just something that is necessary

Evolve means to develop, grow, get better. Better means different things to different people.

sometimes being real just isn't enough until someone else is there who is being real with you, and i guess by then it isn't being real that's important anymore. i hope we're talking about the same thing
