Sometimes You Just Have to Be You

I know it's a weird title, but it came to my head, so it must have a meaning. I'm sure it'll become clear by the end of blog, my titles usually do.

I guess lately I've been thinking about how stubborn I am. For whatever reason once I decide to do something I insist on seeing to it to it's conclusion, even if it's something that midway through I decide I don't want to do anymore. Like when I pick up a book and start it, no matter how horrible it turns out to be I must finish it. I know that doesn't seem such a bad thing, and it does turn out that most things I insist on finishing because I started I'm glad I see to the end. After all that's how I got through college, I know that's probably not totally good because it wasn't an enjoyable experience, but the one thing I learned the most from college was my strong sense of preservence. That was probably the most valuable thing I learned in school, and I didn't even realize it or appreciate until I just wrote it down. College was important to me because it was the first thing I finished and accomplished on my own as an adult. Within the last year or so that same stubborness has helped me a lot with some major decisions I have made in my life. Several times I thought about changing my mind but the fact that I'm so stubborn about once I start things once I start things is the one thing that has stopped me from changing my mind.
