When you were young

While I love, love to read them, I don't really believe in introduction posts. Or rather, I don't believe in my ability to write one. I could talk about me, where I come from, my age, my friends, my hobbies, my education, my dreams, etc. for - literally - days on end. Then people would know everything about me.

Except, the next day I'll probably wake up and have changed my mind about one thing or ten.

That's the thing about people - we change constantly.

God knows I do.

For example, today I blew a ton of money on clothes and jewelry because on Monday, when I was standing in front of my closet trying to pick clothes I'd take to my mom's place, I thought to myself "What is this shit?"

Also, 16-year-old me would probably look at most of the things I bought in disgust - and then go listen to some punk rock or something. I still like punk rock, but my understanding of fashion has transcended my former mindset of "I like black clothes".

Now, while 16 was a long, long time ago, there are still things that keep changing. When I came back this spring after studying abroad for one year, my sister (who has her very own sense of style that doesn't only match her body, but her entire personality), made a comment to a mutual friend about how my style has become more "elegant". And one of my oldest friends I have known for over 10 years, keeps saying "Back in the day, you never would have worn that!"

And she's right.

I have changed a lot, and I probably will look at these changes closely when a certain topic comes up, because I find them to be rather fascinating.

I can't tell you who I am. But I can tell you who I was today.

Today I was a sister who loves getting her little sister stuff, I was someone who can't handle money at all, I displayed mad shopping stamina, and instead of getting all frustrated ("This is my size, why doesn't it fit? It has to fit!!!"), I decided to screw the rules and just bought whatever I liked in whatever size fit. I ended up getting clothes in sizes S all the way to XL. So I guess I was also a very confused person.

Today, I also was someone who could see herself getting with a certain someone and being in a couple again after almost a year of being a really, really happy single girl.

But we'll see how I feel about that tomorrow.
