The Comeback

It has come to my realization that my last blog post in existence occurred in April of… wait for it… 2011. Well, what can I say? It's been a while.
At this point in my life, approaching the end of my first semester of college, I've come across my sophomore year, composition class blog, facilitated by Mr.Dykstra. If you cared to read older posts, you would likely hear a complaint about the blogging assignments in almost every single one.
As I reread my younger selves thoughts and opinions I came to a few realizations:

1. Some of my opinions are the same, and some vastly different. I have changed a lot since then, experienced more, and come to certain realizations about myself and others.

2. I think I wrote so many outrageous things mostly for attention. To get a laugh, to entertain. I am actually appalled at some of my uneducated, judgmental and sometimes plain out rude comments in older posts.

3. I retract my complaints about blogging and I think I am going to get back at it, but on my time, by my choice.

I am doubtful that anyone would care much about what I have to say, but I suppose I'll say I'm writing for myself. To be completely honest, I'm not sure if that is 100% true though. I have journals and journals full of things I wrote down just for myself and you don't see that published. If a blogger (not that I would define myself as one) goes to the trouble of typing out and spending time on a post, you know that they are hoping it will be seen by more that just their own eyes. Even if it's just one other person.

I used to sign off my posts with the statement "I win." I hate that. It was arrogant. Somewhat humorous (refer to #2), but kind of obnoxious. I have yet to come up with something more clever and reflective of my personality, so I'll just say goodbye for now.
