I wasn't happy.
And now I am happy.
This may have something to do with copious amounts of exposure to Jon Pertwee and Classic Who.
But also it may be because I've remembered to be myself, rather than being the person people seem to want me to be.
PC hadn't been a very nice place for me to be for quite a while. I know why but it is a thing what is not to be mentioned so I will stop with this line of thought. I didn't want to leave really but I also did not want to stay. Eventually I wandered off accidentally and camped out in Tumblrland, which was not especially brilliant until I started a fresh blog over there and fell in with the nice people who dominate the Classic Who tag.
What I learned there is that if you are unashamedly yourself, people will generally like you for it. Well, people will like me for it anyway. Because I'm actually quite a good, likable person, I think, even when I'm not trying to be. That realization is rather relaxing and adds alliteration to my anecdote. But see, now that I'm being me and not being a projected version of me I think I like myself better. And I'm working a lot less for the same gain.
I'm just kind of typing this out with no real aim in mind, but what I kind of want to say is that I'm coming back here with a better sense of where I belong in this community. Which is alright, I suppose. I'm content with my place and see no point in trying to change it. I'll just chill and be me. It's up to everyone else what they want to do about it, if anything.
That is all. It may or may not have made any sort of sense.

@Jared Thank you~ *hugs back*
@Scarf I think he's mine too at this point. :D I haven't had much exposure to many of the Classic Doctors yet so I can't judge really but so far it's him. :3 & ty~Posted December 27th, 2011 at 10:07 PM by TheSmartOne
