don't be lazy, be brave

In my first intro post on Steemit, I was cheerful, I was attractive. Today, I feel we've gotten to know each other a bit better. I don't want to make this sound like a diary - but there's no escaping it.
I was rewriting this sentence, because I've been trying to draw a parallel between what I am feeling right now, and my general experience on Steemit, but it just doesn't apply. All it does is it helps me revisit the intro post a person I was one year ago wrote, but I don't really want to anchor myself in the past either.

I withhold observations out of courtesy.
I over-explain myself.
I rarely cry from sadness, and that's really sad.

...

The best advice I ever got was - don't be lazy, be brave.

Call me a romantic, but I wanted to inscribe it here. It's important to remind yourself, from time to time, who you wish to be.

We fall back into our default patterns all to easily.
