I began Xanga back in 2002 as someone who had no idea who he was- fast forward to 2012... it shocks me that 10 years have past. You could say that 10 years is a long time, but then at the same time it's not really that long period of a time either. I think one of the biggest changes that I exhibited is the way that I approach situations. I used to be very emotional and very reactive to things around me. The person that I am now is rather passive... in fact, I'm beginning to feel that I'm too passive. I let a lot of things slide and for that fact it's very easy for me to be stepped on all over.
I've learned so much over the last 10 years and of course while I do believe the direction I took in life is one that is right for me, I can't help but think of different scenarios. What if I did move to DC last year? What if I moved to LA way back in 2004? It's difficult for me to rid myself of the past mostly because it still surprises me that things
actually happened.
I guess it's strange that I'm in my 30s and am beginning the process of discovering what interests me... but I suppose better late than never right? I've been taking French language classes since February and so far it seems like I'm pretty good at it. Starting May, I'll be going to culinary school briefly to learn pastries as well as Japanese cuisine. I'm not sure if it'll amount to much these courses, but I figure... let's try something new and fresh.
Then it comes to the subject of blogging, it's sad however it seems my blogging habit has been completely overshadowed by my Facebook habit. I miss blogging, however, when it comes down to me writing something over 160 characters... my mind draws a blank. I'm no longer that emo guy that I was in my early twenties. Nowadays, as long as I have snacks, good company and games, I'm quite content.
... it seems I've really grown up.
