Sometimes when you let go, you realize how you've grown.

I normally post something on the 26th of October every year, but this year is special to me, and it's funny how it'll be the only year where I won't do it. This is the year of growth, this is the year where my life has changed so much from my previous self that I'm still in that period of changing things.

It's strange reading this entry because I started feeling as though we're alike in a lot of ways. I know that you mentioned that before in the past but somehow I never really thought of it back then. So it was like reading bits and parts of myself, and I think this line really says it best: My personality is contradictory at times. I am silly, yet serious. I am clingy, yet I like to be alone. I am always talking about something, but I am silent. Social, yet anti-social. Deeply caring, yet... at times uncaring. But I really don't see it as a contradiction. I think it's more situation-dependent. Integration, synthesis of the self... Something like that.

And maybe you don't see it, but I think you're a passionate person because I definitely see it in your words and actions. And I can see it in your art too.

I don't know if this entry was back-dated or not, but I don't remember seeing it a few days ago. Maybe I skipped over it by accident. But I stumbled upon it when I came back to your journal because I wanted to let you know that I am still subscribed to your journal through Bloglines' RSS reader. I just thought you should know that, so that I don't appear to be a creepy stalker or anything. ^_-

I really wish that I could keep my LJ semi-public like you, but it's been associated with my real name for such a long time that I get paranoid that my potential-employers will find it and read it. =/

...This comment is getting to be too long, and I'm starting to think that I should have just emailed you instead... so I think I'll just leave it at that even though I could go on and on. ^_^;

I didn't say I wasn't passionate, I do think I am when I get out of the lazy kick. A lot of people have said the faces of my characters in art has been expressive, so I'm happy to hear that.

Nope, wasn't back-dated. I won't write about my job here if I get one. And if they end up not hiring me because of my journal, that's discrimination!

true, but i'm guessing employers will give you a different reason for why they're not hiring you rather than tell you straightforwardly that they saw your lj and decided not to hire you based on that.
