Wow. It's been a while.
I remember when I made my first xanga account in SIXTH GRADE. What in the world did I blog that was so important back then? Too bad I shut it down. I think I was too embarrassed to look back on my prepubescent rantings and typing. I really regret that now because I could have had many hours of fun being nostalgic and whatnot.
Then I made four or five in between that time and the blog I have right now. Although I shut those down too, I had a tendency to wax poetic about life and such or did the very opposite and made completely nonsensical posts about a "bagel shooter." (Why I remember that particular fact is way beyond my understanding.)
My tweenie self pretty much grew up on xanga. And whenever I think of my preteen self, I think of the times I hated myself, my body, my personality (or, perhaps, lack thereof back then), and the things I couldn't do.
People really do grow up and change. And that is a great thing.
I really think xanga was instrumental in my maturing because it was a way to vent when I couldn't find anyone else to confide to. (I had major trust issues back in the day.) Instead of going down a path of self destructive tendencies, I blogged. Very therapeutic. It probably helped me in ways I still don't understand.
Not that I'm such a mature, young lady now, but I have definitely changed and I am so glad for it.
I wish I had pictures of myself on here. Thinking of that, I don't think I have any pictures during that time.
Great. I wanted photo evidence, but I guess my silly anecdotes on this blog will have to do. |
