About

say hi to high school me.

this picture was taken somewhere in the second half of my senior year, right in the middle of my transition period. i was beyond excited to start afresh in college, because clean slates are so exciting. i could reinvent myself. i could leave all the toxicity in my life behind and replace it with positivity. i was going to be a completely new person.

boy was i wrong.

somewhere between the first day of second semester senior year and the last day of first semester freshman year, i lost sight of myself. the person who i used to be didn't exist anymore. maybe someday i'll post my story, maybe i won't. just know that i was in a place that i don't ever want to go back to again.

so that brings me to now. i came back to my second semester wanting to start over. i knew what i did wrong, i fixed my problems, i wanted to do it--to be the same girl again. so this blog is my journey. how i found myself again--or how i didn't, and found the person i was supposed to be. maybe it's too ambitious, but as far as i've been told, college is about finding out who you are and what you want to do. so maybe this is exactly what i need.

i hope you enjoy your stay.
