I'm so glad that I am able to look back on old writing. I am able to measure/distinguish how different I am now from back then. But love is a constant. Loving others, being in love, wanting to show love. I've never really focused on myself--my needs, my development, my own affirmation. We all die alone, so we need to learn how to love ourselves. I'm reading bell hooks and I ordered a copy for Adam. Because we all deserve to know what love is, and bell hooks is right to say we live loveless lives.

2013 will be interesting, challenging, transformative. And I'll develop my understanding of love, and continue loving.

New day, new perspective

Uh...I checked out my xanga from way back in the day and I think I sort of like how I used to write. I remember really enjoying writing and thinking that maybe someone would care to read what I had to say. Now I'm involved in journalism and media! Yay! Hopefully I'll make a difference through my writing or blow someone's mind away with some essay or story. For now I can only hope and concentrate on grammatical errors and the content of my writing. I'm so self conscious about my writing. Besides rem·i·nisc·ing I realized something, maybe? Maybe not. I just wrote a whole paragraph of thoughts but decided to delete it. I'll end this with a list..

It's way easier to go about my day (a busy one) in lists.
I love lists. This reminds me of Xanga. Weird.
How do you blog Natalia? I haven't written in my journal in a long long time.

Now off to start on accomplishing the things on my list.
This is my day. November 7, 2009.
