....you accidentally stumble upon the blog you thought you lost forever from two years ago when you were an awkward little eighth grader/freshman. Yikes.
Now, this isn't to say that in two years when I accidentally find this blog after completely ignoring it, I won't be completely devastated with embarrassment. But finding that little web page is kind of like finding a modern day time capsule. I was writing about the boy I had a HUGE crush on in eighth grade, and my subsequent struggles with that, and oddly enough, a lot about the weather. And really, a lot of the things I posted were entirely pointless little snippets about my day. (Like I said earlier, it's not like this blog isn't the exact same thing.) As Aubin just put it, "I kind of can't believe you wrote that on the Internet..." Oh lord.
Well, let it serve as a reminder that we do change, even in a short amount of time. Believe it or not, I remember being that 14 year old girl who had a major crush and was pretty spunky and definitely a little bit awkward. But it's something we all can relate to, and if we all had a blog from two years ago, or four, or whenever, we would all be in for a delightful (and hilariously uncomfortable) surprise.
I keep a journal, and its something I have tried to do consistently. But of course, it usually ends up being incredibly sporadic. But that isn't my point. My point is, it goes back two or three years, and I sometimes go back just for shits and giggles. And even better, I still have my little girl diary that I got in second grade. SECOND GRADE. It details all of my crushes, and arguments with Jack, and everything in between. Also, it goes through most of the awkward middle school years that my current journal leaves out, so I have a fairly decent record of my life.
So really, all I'm driving at, is that yes. It is a horrifically awkward blog, much like every single writing in my diary and journal. But, that's ok, because that's just how life works.
