Starting up the journal again.
So, I just realized something.
There is a tendency when you're in college, and especially when you're a theatre major, to completely discredit the person you used to be. Whether it's five minutes or five years, you look back at yourself and say, oh I was so stupid, or so immature, or so untalented. And that's an easy thing to say, but you forget that that old you is the exact same person you are now, minus some life experience. The bad actor that I was in my freshman year is the same intelligent, passionate young adult; striving to find love and share his talents with the world.
Reading my old Live Journal entries has made me realize that I have more of a personality than I allow. In college, you just want to please everybody, and make everybody think you're this one thing or another. But there is this essential element of yourself that you absolutely cannot allow to be overlooked. People need to know this is who I am, and it won't change because it is who I enjoy being.
All of this kind of stems around a lot of lesson I've learned about love in the past few years. More on that later.
I am definitely going to start journaling again. At least occasionally. Journaling allows you to realize that you have a much more profound voice than you realize. It's also really neat to look back at these places in my life, and realize I was very heartfelt and mature then, even if I don't want to admit it.
I don't even know if anyone used LJ anymore. Oh well. It's as much an exercise for me than anyone else. But if you read these still, have at.
