Hello, welcome to my new blog. I use the term "new" very, very loosely, because jujuseed.blogspot has been my online domain for the past 6-7 years. It has seen many facelifts the past few years, while spending quite a long time not seeing a new post at all.
Shortly after the conception of this blog in late 2007, I surprised myself by posting regularly, no matter how mundane the subject matter. I talked about friendship dramallama and having a short-lived (borderline-stalkerish) interest on the boy who lived two floors above me. I wrote about my experiences dating and breaking up with my neighbor out of sympathy. I talked about the one boy I liked for three years but believed I never stood a chance with. I talked about my best friend having feelings for me, and me not knowing what to do with those feelings way back then.
(I talked about boys a lot. Typical of a fifteen year old. Not gonna lie.)
This is what my blog used to look like, circa 2009 :)
To this day, I still deeply regret deleting my old posts. Even if all they consisted of were whiny juvenile complaints about an outdated British school system and inpenetrable social hiearchies and prepubescent bodily concerns. Even if they were all morbidly embarrassing in retrospect. Those posts were still a major part of my life, and I carelessly threw it all away in a moment of impulse. All I have to remember the years 2007-2010 by are badly taken photos from a shaky compact Canon, and my ever-deteriorating memory, I guess.
This year, I've resolved to change. I want to take blogging seriously again.
It's a difficult decision, and who knows how long this flash of inspiration will last? In two weeks, I may very well leave this blog for dead again. But I want to make a genuine effort this time. I'm a forgetful person. There aren't many things that make a lasting impression on me. I need this blog, so I can keep remembering and reflecting. I need to have a tangible record of my twenties, and reflection of my teens, so I don't forget. As a result, I've decided to revive my blog again - to have an avenue to talk about the goings and happenings of my life, what's running through my mind, old memories, future hopes, future dreams...
A journal of sorts!
Whoever is reading this, you're welcome to join me for the ride. I have a fear of commitment to new plans, but I do hope I commit to this one.
