Dear Livejournal, it’s been fun

“09 December 2003 @ 04:29 pm”

Wow. I’ve come a long way since my first published blog. I remember I had been reading one of my best friends’ blogs for months leading up to that point. I no longer talk to that friend. We didn’t have a falling out or anything. Just went our own separate ways. It’s funny where life takes us, isn’t it?

Tonight is the night that I retire my livejournal once and for all. It’s really weird knowing that I’ve been writing in the same diary since I was sixteen. Just too many memories I need to forget in order to maintain a healthy mindset. Goodbye first crushes, first concerts, heartbreak, dreams, and friends long gone. Thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. I truly appreciate everything that’s ever made a difference up to this point in my travels, but it’s time to start looking ahead and put all that behind me.

It is time for a change. This blog marks a new life for me. The beginning of my adulthood as proven by the written word. It’s a fresh start not being tied down by memories of puberty and phases that I’m glad I grew out of. While I have no regrets in my life, I trust you’ll understand why this “fresh new outfit” was needed. This blog is a new beginning for me. A chance for me to write what I’m feeling with no regrets. I trust that you as a reader will find me an amusing, in-depth person that is anything but cookie-cutter.

This is my life so far. Set your bookmarks. Stay tuned. The best is yet to come.
