And then I wouldn't stop chattering as long as I feel to.
I might annoyed people around me when gibberish-ness run through my vein (no, it's not hereditary though) and without realizing it, my words hurt others.
Another thing that I would love to improve myself on is my 'transparency'. I tend to be soO honest, and give more than enough information about something (which people don't want/need to know). For example, instead of being a lady and politely excuse myself to the washroom, I'm more inclined to scream, "I wanna pee". It might not be appropriate for civilized citizens. I'm aware of that, but I just can't help it. I'm so sorry to anybody who happened to be my company and being embarrassed. I'll try not to do that next time.
I feel like Walter Cunningham Jr. in "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. If you're not familiar with the novel, Walter was a friend of Scout (the protagonist) and he came from a lower class of whites (the novel covers much on social hierarchy). Scout's family invited him for dinner one day and he 'flooded' his meal with syrup (this is considered inappropriate). Scout criticized his table manner, but then Calpurnia (the cook) cut in and told her not to mock his way...
Maybe that's one of the reasons why I hate being a grown-up. At least as a kid, you wouldn't have to bother much if you behave seemly for adults won't criticize you so bad...
It's in fact discouraging, but that's where resilience comes in.
Oh yeah talk about being tough, folks!
