Simply too early in the morning. (reposted)

A conversation on Friday 6 October 2006, 1:32 am. Reposted for you . Have I changed? People change. We all do. Yes, but have I? *sigh* Yes, you have. You've changed. In what way? Which did you want? For the better or for the worse? For the worse. I know I've changed for the worse. Unfair to say that. You've changed, in some respects, yes, for the worse. But others for the better. I've changed. I know I have. Do you ever doubt yourself? Doubt myself? Yes. Question yourself, your capabilities. I always question myself. Sometimes people do things that surprise themselves.
