The last time I wrote regularly in a blog was four years ago. I was eighteen years old and I was still dealing with the aftermath of my teenage years. I am surprised at how well documented my life was through blogging. By reading my posts, I was able to recollect old memories that would have not seemed so vivid otherwise. Because of the aforementioned teenage angst, certain posts are still difficult to read but are nevertheless amusing.
To be able to recollect old memories, feelings and thoughts is my main reason for creating a new blog. I hope that in four years from now, I will find the same bemusement in this blog as I have found in my old ones. Other reasons for starting a new blog include: 1) I have been encouraged by people to write about my experiences in Ontario so they can be updated with my life (and I will include pictures). 2) Writing is my therapy. 3) University has greatly stifled by creativity and I would like to stop feeling like a melancholy-essay-writing-android that spits out facts and references.
So my dear blog, I do not know if you will fizzle out like all the others but I do hope that I will be as good to you as I was to your predecessors. My freedom of expression, my audaciousness, and even my irrationality will be yours to carry. Though I will remember that you are the Internet and everything I write can be tracked and used against me. Paranoia.
Thank you in advance, for you will be my sanctuary.
Yours,
P. xo.
