Breaking Barriers

Today, I found myself breaking barriers in my sense of my character. A large part of me coming to Japan was to come out of my shell (for further info read my about me). Each day I work harder and harder at, there are new people, new ideas and a new place that are all foreign to me. Stepping out of my comfort zone has always been an issue for me and well, today was major progress for me.  

What did I do today?

1) I ate lunch with two girls that I would never think I would have anything in common with. I would have never found that out if i didn't take the initiative to do lunch. 

2) I had an assignment to do for class today in which myself and a partner, (Ryan)  had to interview random people. At first I was nervous, thinking "I don't know, what to ask, I don't know how to interview ppl, I don't want to do this." In the end I carried out the interview. I just relaxed and let that uncomfortable aspect of my character fade and acted like I knew what I was doing. Sure enough my interviews turned out pretty good.

This may not seem something to serious but for me it is.

I realize that regrets eat away at you and the "what if" factor is just that "What IF" You'll never know, that's why it is important to just live. Im slowly taking this in as, I work on the better person I'm trying to be. The person that is better for my well being.
