3 years - what happened?


Taka Nuvia

Whilst going through older blog entries in search for a blogging inspiration it hit me how much has changed - I remember thinking I was so mature, but looking back my older entries they all seem somewhat... silly. Or at least way too cheerful.

I don't remember being that cheerful! D:

 

So, what happened? Did university/the end of school really make me so much less cheerful/positive/funny than before?

(Hint: the answer is veery likely to be yes)

 

Have you noticed any such drastic changes about yourself?

 

(and whoah I really need to change something about that. Grown-up and all, but at that rate I'll be super-grumpy within another 3 years. <_< )

(I am aware some of you may have seen the picture before. But it's pretty! IMO at least.)

i pretend things i did a year ago never happened because i hate everything i do in the past. In fact I'll probably look at this post in a month and go "wow what was i thinking" as per usual.

I've noticed very similar. I've learned a lot about so many things, especially since high school 7 years ago, but even more so in the last few. I've tended to get a lot less bubbly, and that side of me only really comes out when with a couple of people I highly like and trust. Everyone else... I'm in a bit of a shell.

 

Not only that... I've always been pretty blunt, and a long time ago I was very openly blunt. Then I learned to internalize it a lot. Now I very openly call it like I see it, and that gains a lot of repercussions because everyone's getting so much more opinionated (and frankly, that means few are even able to debate properly, so that's frustrating).

 

I don't think it's inherently bad to get more serious. Just make sure you keep giving yourself opportunities to relax and just be silly/bubbly again. :)

 

I'm also finding that the more opinionated people get, the more it gravitates toward negativity. At the moment I'm trying to learn how to just ignore it - it's not ignorANCE, I'm not denying that things are wrong. But you just can't maintain a joyful lifestyle if all you focus on every day is what's wrong with things. I guess in other words I'm trying to relearn to find silver linings. :)

I like to think I looked at things in the same way as I do now, but feel less inspired overall to act on them. I'll often formulate posts (tall, short, whatever) and then just abandon them because I think "what's the point?".

 

If I have something to contribute, I'll definitely do it, but I'm a lot less off-the-cuff than I used to be. If I have a long post, it's because I really want to say what's in it, and if it's a quick post, then I'm just capitalizing on a quick burst of energy (basically right now =P).

 

Honestly, I think it's just a little bit of everything; there's so much more to do in life (good and bad) as you get older; makes sense that your whole waking existence isn't about posting.
