obligatory i'm-feeling-guilty-because-i-haven't-posted-in-a-million-years post
I am trying to write a descriptive essay for essay writing. Well, obviously, not right now, but it was in fact my aim when I sat down at the computer. Anyway, I thought it would be a funny idea for inspiration if I checked out some past entries to see how far I've come. I was only hesitant because I was concerned it would be painful to see my past idiocies preserved forever in type.
It was depressing, but not for that reason. Rather, I came to the startling conclusion I used to be a better writer than I am now, and I used to think about things more, and the observations I made were cleverer and more creative than anything I've thought about in the past few months. I was specifically reading an entry from last fall, where I compared people to chemical reactions relatively astutely. It may sound like I'm tooting my own horn, but really, I am as far removed from that entry as I am from someone else's entirely. I have nooo idea where those thoughts came from, or what brought them on, or even led me to say that Naomi, Jess, and I are explosive and unintelligible.
So I have decided that that is probably something I should work on, and I shall begin now. With this. Regular personal postings that regularly evaluating my life, because that is seriously missing from my brain activity right now. I refuse to have any more unannounced breakdowns taking over suddenly in random teacher's rooms. I will persevere!
