I want to reinvent myself. I want to turn into the person I could never be when I was in high school. I want to isolate myself from everyone once in a while, without the feeling of being judged by my-so-called "friends". I want to be able to feel secure on my own, without the hands of my extrovert "friends" around my neck.
I want to go to museums, antique stores, libraries and bookstores without thinking that my "friends" would get bored. I've never been exposed to different people when I was in high school, so I was stuck with people who never knew the real me, who joined whatever gimmick they had in mind, because, what choice did I have? I didn't want them to hate me for not going with what they think is fun. But don't get me wrong, I love them, I just don't love what they love, or what they do. I felt so trapped whenever I was with them.
I felt so small, so shallow.
This time, if I'm going to reinvent myself, I have to choose the people I'm going to spend my time with.
