First of Many

I often find myself reminiscing about being sixteen. Sixteen was a good age for me. I was finally beginning to heal from a bad experience in my life and I was throwing myself into life more than I had ever done before (or have really done since). I had a blog on a website called piczo, which has since shut down, but I actively wrote and uploaded pictures to that blog and I even had quite a bit of followers! I was also taking a lot more pictures of myself and the things around me (and not just with an iphone either). I experimented with my clothing more and it was the first time a boy had ever expressed interest in me and I was entirely wrapped up in it. Although I had plenty of bad times while I was sixteen, I was also doing so many different things, from being creative in ways I am usually not to experiencing new things (such as boys). I often wish I could go back to being that way again. I want to find myself again because so often these days I feel lost, which I guess is normal for 20-somethings, but I still often find myself looking at other people's lives and feeling like mine is so vastly different in all the wrong ways.

I guess you could say this blog is an attempt to find myself again. A big part of my life when I was sixteen was that piczo blog and I guess I am hoping by creating this (and maybe sticking to it this time) I will rediscover parts of me that I have lost or maybe I will discover parts of me I have not yet found.

Let's get started then.
