I just realized that this blog is nearly two years old.
I remember when I started blogging back in 2006, I was lightly made fun of by friends.
"So what, do you like write about what you eat for breakfast?"
Yeah. Because my breakfasts are that fascinating. Blogging was new. It was somewhat foreign.
But, now, every person and their dog has a blog. Okay, well maybe not a blog, but I personally know of two dogs who use twitter. Yes, you read right.
I used my blog to vent, to be creative and to, essentially, put my life on stage.
I'm a different person than the one who wrote on this blog just a short year ago. Much has changed. It's funny though ... on the surface, things seem the same. But I know that I've made very long strides in my life.
Just even looking at the landscape of my blog, I find that I vent a lot less. This isn't the place I use to complain about my life, because I find that I am not really making that many complaints anymore. And it's not to say that everything is perfect ... far from it.
I think that more than anything, I am learning to embrace the imperfections in my life. I am learning that this is what makes me who I am.
I complain a lot less ... this doesn't mean that I have nothing to complain about. I just find that there are less and less things that irritate me these days. And it's not that things have changed or gotten better ... I think it's just that the way I look at things have changed.
I guess you could say I've put on rose-coloured glasses, but that is far too cliché for my taste.
Things on the surface may seem the same, but I know that things are different on the inside. Yes, I have my moments where it seems that the tears or frustrations just won't end, but as a whole, I find that I am able to let things go a lot quicker than I used to in the past.
I just find that some things are just not worth the energy.
I know where I'm headed. And, man, am I ever a patient person.
Sometimes, I just need the reminder that I'm moving forward. It's a good thought to embrace.
