Remember how I said you should take a look back at my archives and see how this blog started? After doing just that myself, I changed my mind. [Note to self: I thought you learned that whole ‘think before you speak’ thing? No?]
I used to use emoticons. And I loved parentheses even more than I do now. It’s not pretty, so maybe…just don’t. I’m not going to take those posts down or delete them, because it’s important to see where I’m coming from, but taking a peek at them was…painful. And while looking back at the person I used to be is interesting, I’m glad I’m not there anymore — in my writing and who I am as a person — despite everything I learned. Like that using winky faces isn’t really putting my English degree to use and that if I talk about my goals too much they seem to lose a little value.
Onward and upward, as they say.
