Let's do something different: Be ourselves. When living with people who already made up their mind about you as a know-it-all or whatnot you tend to act lie that character. In your mind you have this idea of a character you want to be but when writing to yourself you can just be you... I know this is true because when I'm with people from school, I don't talk much and self-conscience. But when I'm with a bunch of strangers, I "walk the walk" and is really self-confident. You can do anything you set your mind to. But you need to know what your mind wants first.
