Do you guys think that I've changed since I first became a deviant?

Anyway, I was just thinking about it. I started coming on here in my freshman year, but now I'm a senior and I just started thinking about how much my personal life has changed and I'm wondering if anyone who has known me for long enough has seen me change as well.

I know for sure that my writing has changed since I've found this awesome medium to practice and improve, but I was wondering if maybe my attitude towards literally anything has changed enough for someone to actually notice a significant difference.

I know for certain that in my real life, I'm way more cynical than I was as a freshman and newbie deviant, and I don't really know how I feel about that because I've always hated when people were too cynical, and I feel like I'm on that track.

I feel like my depression has both good and bad points in varying situations.

For example, my depression sometimes inspires me to write some of my more feelsy stories, and it garners some attention of people saying that they can really feel the pain and sadness in my words and that it's a refreshing twist from my usual stuff.

On the bad side, because of my depression acting as a sort of physical/emotional/mental barrier, I usually don't experience many more emotions, at least for very long.

I guess what I mean is that yes I can feel sadness but it's muted down to indifference fairly quickly, my happiness lasts as long as I am exposed to the thing/person/event that makes me happy, but then once it's done then everything numbs back down to me not feeling anything at all, I can't even really feel anger or frustration for very long either.

I'm no longer one of those people that lets one good/bad thing effect their whole day. I feel like I've become someone who can take things into better perspective than I used to be able to, but I kinda feel like in order to do that, I've given up a small part of my humanity in the process.

I know that kinda sounds weird, but it's honestly how I feel. I feel like in order to become more mature in one aspect, I say only one aspect because I am still immature as all hell but that's beside the point, that I've sort of given up on my emotions lasting as long as they used to. Maybe it's just a part of becoming a teenager/young adult, but I wish I could still have the naive mindset that I used to have only a few years prior.

Sorry for ranting.
