people are just people

my natural personality is shy. very, shy. i tend to keep my thoughts to myself and i don't usually go out of my way to talk to people or get to know anyone. and for a really long time, that's how it was. but you know what? i've learned that doesn't really work in the real world. and it's definitely not working for me anymore.
'people are just people, they shouldn't make you nervous.' for me, easier said then done. but it's totally true. it makes me wish i could go back in time to high school and re-live all those times i was worried about what other people thought. because they were just people. and i had no good reason to not be my true self around them. it's been two years since i graduated high school, and although i've learned and grown through everything i've done since, i'm still that shy girl that doesn't say much. and you know what? that's okay. it's okay to be shy.because that's who i am. but i am going to try and put myself out there more and not worry about what other people think. because they're just people. and i'm going to be me. just a little braver.
