Reflecting and redirecting

Since I came back to the blog, I have been going through and looking at a lot of old posts.  It is funny to see posts from over a decade ago, and view them through a different lens. 

As I dip into the past, I'm delisting some posts about family drama over the years.  Laughing at some of my outfits over the years.  Nodding at some beliefs I still hold, and shaking my head at the ones I've moved past.  Wincing about a few dreams and goals that never came to fruition. 

This AI pic is poor quality, but the concept feels about right. 

I think that is why I came back, and why I see a few efforts to come back throughout the years.  It is the continuity of having your train of thought in one place where you can review it.  Where you can see how who you were became who you are.  I often feel like who I am is so fixed, but it is actually really malleable.  

It is also funny to see little things like the first song I wrote, or the fact that I've had my same snow boots for 13 years now. (Shout out to Sorel.)
