Sometimes I consider going back and deleting many of my old posts.
Why?
Because I started writing this blog when I was 19-20 years old, and I sounded like…well, someone who was 19 or 20 years old.
Not that I’m that much older now, but in many ways, completely and totally different. I stumbled across an old post recently where I believe I said I would never get a pedicure. I’m not sure why I apparently harbored such vitriol for toenail polish and leg massages, but I wrote it. (Never fear, I have gone on to have many, many pedicures, as recently as today.)
I also realized I came off as sounding a bit high-horse and know-it-all in some of my earlier posts, but really, I was 20 years old and didn’t have a clue. I’m 23 now and KNOW that I don’t have a clue, most of the time.
But, when you think about it, I have good reason to have changed…when I started this blog, I was about to start my junior year of college. D and I had been together for about 2 years, and life was pretty simple. Now I’ve graduated from college, been with D for 6 years (whoa!), and have survived no less than 3 post college jobs. And am on the way to changing my career path.
When I started writing this blog, I thought life was about working toward a goal. My goal at the time was to get out of college and start my “real life”.
Don’t get me wrong, a goal is a worthy thing. But your life is what happens while you’re working toward the goal…not what happens when you obtain the goal.
So take my early posts with a grain of salt…laugh at them, ignore them, whatever, anything but take them seriously.
