Spend less time on facebook and more time on blogging. Be outrageous and and vulgar like “xiaxue”, perfect like “dawn yang”, and hidden like “arissa cheo”. This just means that sometimes I should make use of technology and use it towards expressing myself. I’m very much a hermit and over the years I’ve developed into a recluse. I used to write in a diary during elementary school and I used to write utter nonsense on my xanga while in middle school. They were very lame but something tells me that I’ve learned a lot from writing these personal things. I also like my sarcastic tone from my blogspot when I was in high school and learned that adjectives and imagery would fill not only 5 pages on an essay but also a blog. Not to mention I only wrote constant gibberish because I was supported by my teacher who was captivated by my writing, only years later did I find out that he was baked all of class. And now to the “me” now who runs on interpretive dances because she can’t seem to socialize well. I’ve distanced myself from people and things and the person I used to be. It’s time to touch base.
I’m also going to start another blog that will be dedicated to a “future valerie”. “to my 30 year old self” as I call it. I’ve decided that I’ll be writing blogs to my future self so that in years to come, I can rely on these little notes and advices. Growing up I often felt at times that I was misunderstood or that I didn’t understand my parents. For example, you as a child really want to sleep over your friend’s house and you do. Now when you have your own kids, would you let your kids sleep over their friend’s house? Might be a simple answer but let’s add other questions such as when’s the right time to have a relationship or even have sex? This blog would be more towards parenting, but that’s kinda where I see myself in the next ten years.
What would you have told your high school self? And what would you tell your future self? I’m kinda excited towards introducing myself..
