I Used to be

I used to be anxious, but now I am bold.

I used to wake up early, but now I sleep in.

I used to be sad and quiet, but now I am happy.

I used to hang out with my cousin but now she is gone.

I used to play with my brother but now we fight.

I used to play outside but now I’m on my phone.

I used to hate being in my room but now I’m always there.

I used to go to my uncle’s house and play games, but now I don’t.
