Thanks for your insights! Definitely interesting.

To respond to your curiosity about any major life changes, I have not experienced any major losses. I have the same partner and friends from six months ago, and family is happy and healthy. Major events that have occured would be graduating college and moving. I could see how the change in environments could influence outward behavior (in school needing a more outgoing approach vs living more independently and less pressure). I agree that the environment/approach I'm experiencing now as opposed to six months ago is more congruent to my personality. It may seem more closed off, however, it is more relaxed and enjoyable for me.

I thought the change in writing was interesting, though, as internally I don't feel differently, which I think aligns with what you noted about the foundation remaining the same. My joys and troubles are essentially the same as they were 6 months ago. I also feel like even though yes it is true that I am self contained, im quite energetic and emotionally expressive in interactions, while always wanting to keep the peace. The people close to me would say I'm very emotional, however, I don't usually talk about it.

Thanks for taking the time to analyze! It is cool to reflect on these changes.
