2004 self vs. 2010 self
It has taken me awhile to actually realize that it's been 6 years and some change since i've had this blog! How time flies...and I couldn't help but compare myself from my very first entry to me now, and have noticed quite a few differences:
1) I am no longer 17 (hence the "17" at the end of my username), but 23 now.
2) I am no longer in High School, but am now a Graduate College student.
3) I am surely not as "boy crazy" as I used to be...as a matter of fact, I have grown to detest men, and am in no interest whatsoever in having a boyfriend.
4) I am no longer into heavy metal bands like "kittie,"...I have gone back to my r&b/pop/hip hop roots...with A LOT of salsa/merengue/reggaeton added to the mix.
5) I am no longer obsessive over being thin...though I would like a breast reduction...but that is it, I promise!
6)...besides, as much as I bitched and complained back then, I was actually stick thin compared to how I am now...I was still in the 120's, for chrissakes!
7) My grammar and spelling are A LOT better!
8) I no longer try to be "buddy, buddy" with what the masses would call..."bizarre" people. As a matter of fact, I spend a lot of time to myself these days. But even when I don't it is usually with people who are semi-level headed and aren't into things like zombies and video games...believe it or not though, those same "bizarros" actually have just as much "hierarchy of coolness" among their inner circles as the "popular" kids, which gives them a bit of a hypocritical appeal. That is one of the things that sort of discouraged me with that "group" of people.
9) Damn #8 was a long rant, haha.
10) I am sadly not as into creative writing and poetry as I used to be : (...I blame majoring in a healthcare subject area instead of English/History!
11) ...oh yea, I no longer wear all black everyday...now that was silly.
12) The Real World doesn't interest me as much anymore...I can't believe that show is even still on!
...All in all, I could say that I am finally comfortable with myself and my sometimes unique personality. They do say that the teenage years are when a person is truly trying to discover their true selves...and boy were they right! Personally, it has taken a lot of re-analyzing and tweaking of my personality, image, interests, etc. to get me to where and how I am today...just me. Not trying to be like anybodyelse or fit some sort of false "image"...but to just be myself. And if you ask me, I wouldn't have it any other way but my true self. Alright! Enough with my cheesy little rant...where's my cocktail?
