@whatamidoing, I honestly recite myself to answer this question. But as I am writing this I have forgotten everything. However, What I want to address is, I started to see the side of myself that everyone else would see. It's a practice to look into myself from the third point of view and understand it better. I noticed my mistakes better when I write in a third point of view instead of the first point of view. I seek to evaluate my life and understand people's judgement. Perhaps, they were right about it since I barely try to see myself from the outsider perspective.
As in, when I write in first point of view, there seems to be some truth that I sugar coated or erase but when I speak in third person there's no filter anymore and very blunt. Nothing is filtered and this is me.
2018 will be even better? hopefully even if things ever go wrong, I won't be surprised . I wish you the same :) for the bright future ahead!
i will have to try and see if I feel that way. I've written stories in third person but didn't think much about if I ended up expressing it very differently or not. hmmm
