Being myself more and more

For much of my life I changed depending on where I was. At school I was quiet and shy, at home I was loud and fun-loving. When I started working I was quiet and determined, but when I went out with my girlfriend I was talkative and caring.

This dichotomy seemed almost like two personalities. I was angy a lot for a long time, and as I get older I think the way I compartmentalized my life contributed to my anger. It frustrated me that I had to be one way with one group and another more open way with another group.

So over the past 5 years or so I've made an effort to draw my worlds together so that they overlap. I use the same cups and work and home. I talk the mostly the same, though I still cuss too much at home (bad habit). I slowly becoming "whole".

That's where this place started. My effort to become wholly David is working, and I'm enjoying the things I am learning as I go through this process.
