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 good to look back on things no ( ... )

Definitely. You can see how you've grown...

I usually don't forget why I have kept an item, so when I throw it away, I throw it away willingly knowing something about it.

That's interesting, it's kind of like an opposite effect with me... wonder how things work out that way?

I'm glad you're happy! I hope you continue your happiness as well, thank you very much.

I tend to keep a lot of old stuff, too. The other day I was cleaning out my closet, and started throwing things out. It kind of hurt and felt good at the same time :) But I ended up with a lot of things piled on the other side of me that I didn't throw away. I used to be such an over achiever, the kinda kid that kissed ass and was always #1 XD I kinda lost that drive, but it's kinda funny looking back at it all. I've chaaaanged so much from all that old stuff in my closet D: I went from a loud kid that the teacher had to move around to prevent from talking, and then a shy kid that had to be told to speak up, and I'm finally in some sort of middle. Weird, how we change!

... and you're so tiny you WOULD be able to keep the same bed from forever D: I BET YOU CAN STILL FIT IN A CRIB.

Aww, but at least it gave you a good start to where you are now, I hope? Even if it was an overachiever type thing. It is interesting how we can change, and let's hope for the better, eh?

... no, no I cannot... I cannot!! >:O

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 ( ... )

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.
