Blink…
It’s back. After a two-plus year hiatus from blogging, I am back in action. When I stopped blogging mid-junior year, I assumed that it would be for good. My old journal was helpful for me in terms of growing. It was an avenue of releasing any feelings I had, instead of keeping them bottling up inside. But I outgrew it, and realized that instead of just keeping my thoughts to myself and just blurting them out on a semi-anonymous medium, just be open. Plus, I learned that nothing is anonymous. Even though I may have left names out, I learned that people are smart enough to figure out who or what you are talking about. Some of my friends played guessing games with each other as to who I am pissed off at in a particular post. And, surprise surprise, bitching someone out in a weblog and them finding out about it at the same time everyone else does will NOT solve the problem.
But things have changed drastically for me now. Well, I can always rewind a year and think of how different my life was. But here I am, graduated, job, apartment, girlfriend, massive car loan… I’m a very different person than the angry quiet kid who blogged back then. Instead of just talking about my feelings, recapping what I did, I hope to actually convey some knowledge and intelligence across. I’m no longer dealing with insane people in extracurricular activities, but instead I’m in a high-stress work environment where I’m challenged every day to fill an ever-growing role. I’m not concerned over my performance in class, but my performance in the stock market. I’m not thinking about what my first job after college is going to be… but what the next step is, and what do I have to do to get there. So this blog will be different.
I think it’ll be fun for me, from time to time, to crack open my old weblog and see what I wrote, and see what has changed in myself. Maybe you’ll learn something too. I have, for a while has the motto that if I could do anything, I would go back in time a year or two and whoop my own ass.
Changes.
