Have You Changed?

A colleague asked yesterday.. he has known me from 2009 perhaps.. have you changed internally as well? Well he started by mentioning that many years ago I looked very different from how I look now. The previous look was the 'aunty' look.. like an older woman who has 5 children.. I embodied it externally with my limited choice of colours and baggy clothes (because I couldn't fit into the normal-sized ones) and overall 'aged' demeanour.

Now I look fresher, younger and brighter. Had lost 15kg that I had been carrying around for many years. Internally I remain the same person, only that I am embracing who I am more readily. I am a cheeky girl through & through. So I have evoked my inner cheekiness.

Essentially I was lucky to be blessed with great family members and a wonderful set of friends.. and they enabled me to grief & grow & stay out of trouble. Lucky to have a strong moral compass that guided me on the constructive way to handle a separation, after being in a long term relationship.

It's all good and fine and smashingly beautiful. I am alright & I've decided that I'll not let Mr Ex bring me down ever.
