How Have You Changed

[markolas]

I'm a little heavier than I was in my teens & 20s; my hairline is a little further back, and I've started developing some gray. Generally, tho, I've always looked really young for my age and that hasn't changed much.

Way less dramatic than in my teens & early 20s, and way less tolerant of drama from others. I trust my own experience more, and I'm not as mealy-mouthed; I'm not afraid to say "no" anymore. The older I get, the less tolerance I have for BS. Get to the point, and don't try to con or manipulate me, b/c I can see it coming a mile away and I don't take kindly to it.

Way more open & liberal about sexuality than I was in my teens and 20s.

I'm more comfortable with my introversion. I fought it for a long time and wondered why I was so socially awkward, but now I just embrace it. As I get older, I care less and less about "fitting in" and what other people think of me.

More mature in my spirituality, but I'm not sure how to be more specific than that. I've always approached spirituality from a "how can I get through life without going completely crazy?" angle, and that hasn't changed much. I've become more committed to my faith & religious practice.
