I would rather be remembered as "intellectually stimulating"... than just as "the athletic girl with pretty, long hair."

Yes, I know that means making major changes. I must make a huge and genuine (and long overdue) effort to get rid of my lifelong fears of hurting, disappointing, and/or angering people. These fears have ruled my life. I must combat my shyness, and allow my true personality shine through (as it does here)... not let it hide behind my outward appearance.
