♥ Influences
I don’t know about others, but I’m the kind of person that gets influence easily. If I hang around a specific personality type for a couple of months, I become like them. The way I talk, dress and even the way I look at certain things
For example, there was a period of time when I spent most of my days with Shaunna and Daniel Adams. So they where a lot of black, listened to Evanescence, draw emo stuff and etc. therefore, at the period of time I kind of renovated my closet and it became all black. I started downloading Evanescence songs and others artists that they listen to. But I didn’t realise it then that I’m gradually changing. I guess in a way you can say I’m flexible… like versatile and adaptable. Sometimes I do become too comfortable with my physical adaptation. I will start to think that the way my friend looks is the way I should look… it’s a peer pressure thing really if you look at it closely. I tend to get caught up with this thing called “fitting in”, having to experience what it’s like to get picked on and all; I will want to avoid it happening again. Recently, I’ve noticed the changes. I started wearing dresses (which a couple of years ago I totally hated) and I became more materialistic. I remember my friend Darleen mentioned a couple of time when we go out together that I dress like a boy. I used to where a lot of jeans, for some reason skirts were not my thing then. But what she said was 1 reason I change the way I dress. The other reason was that I started dating… I’ve got someone to impress sort of. So everyday I tried to look my best, kind of stupid now I think about it.
Of course, it’s not all bad (although mostly bad). Like, hanging around Darleen who does school work makes me want to do my assignments. Hanging around Shelley who reads a lot I started to read like a book worm. But things like influence come in a package, since there’s no one person in this world who’s absolutely perfect and have no flaws. So I’ve picked up some pretty bad habits like spending a lot of time watching anime and reading manga. On top of that, I’m talking like a Bogan. Not that my friend is a bogan or anything, just that the type of phrase I pick up from their speeches make me sound like a bogan since I don’t even use those phrases under the right situation and concept… dry~~!
