There are times of change. There are times when it's necessary to move on and not look back. In a way, I have done that by deleting my blog posts, but I have them backed up.
I have changed a lot these past few years. As I think back to the person I was when I started high school, it amazes me how different I am from that person. I continue to amaze myself every day.
I think a big chunk of the reasoning as to why I've changed so much is because I spent a long time pretending to be someone that I was not. Through middle school and my freshman year of high school I was the badass (or so I thought). I hung around bad kids and pretended to be one too, when in reality I only hung around these people in school and didn't do any of the naughty things they did (smoking, vandalism, etc.).
After that, I was mostly myself. I found friends that allowed me to be myself and liked me for who I was (and still am). But in my "online life" this wasn't true. As I have said before, I tried so hard to be the best I often crossed lines. When I was a doller, I copied others' dolls and bases. Early on, I copied web designs also. I thought I was a ninja because I learned coding by copying and pasting.
This blog has been put through all sorts of abuse because of all of this. I used to blog entirely non-personal- in other words, it was either website updates or resource posts. Then I went to the completely personal crap; either the stuff that really belongs in a private journal or stuff no one gives a flying squirrel about. I never really voiced my mind and my opinions.
I guess this also explains why this blog has had many domain names. I firmly believe that now, this blog is where I want it to be, content-wise and domain name-wise. Just like I am mostly where I want to be with myself. I obviously have to go through college and get a job, etc., but personally, I'm happy. After years of not being happy with myself and having little self-esteem I'm finally content and confident.
Anyway… I really hope I didn't flunk my test in Economics today…
