2 year anniversary!
Hard to imagine that I’ve had this blog for two years. I started it shortly after I started working at Starbucks. I befriended Michelle on FB and saw that she had a wordpress blog, so I decided to do the same. I think it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve had a lot of blogs, journals and diaries… I used to be a pretty prolific writer (I guess… I used to find myself very interesting) but these days I have my moleskin notebook which holds just about everything like school notes, lists, random songwriting, drawings and pastiche of literary things… it is a companion to my life. Then I have this blog where I write more thought-out randomosities. My diaries would be useless to anybody these days because after college, they became more and more abstract and postmodern. I spent less time talking about uninteresting things I did, things other people did, and focused more on my emotional impressions of life. One of my old roommates read the diary I carried around at the time, and told me there was no substance to it. I read it over and all I see is an insecure control freak who talks about Quiznos all the time.
Over time, I’ve deleted a lot of entries in this blog. Some I thought were outdated, embarrassing and too confessional. Some, just because I didn’t wanna remember. I keep this blog as a reminder of how I felt and some of the lists here are interesting to expand upon. So many idea and so little time, but I hope this blog will stick by me for the years to come.
How have I changed in the past 2 years? I let less things get to me. I don’t hang on to the past as much. I am less angry, less dramatic, more philosophical and less self-centered, less self-conscious. More open-minded but also more weary… and I learned Chinese! (kinda…) Isabelle has grown up and matured, whoda thunk?
I can honestly say that with each day that goes by I am becoming more and more the person I always wanted to be.
