Back on blogspot. Back on blogging. Why? For now, I'm feeling nostalgic. I'm feeling pensive. I'm feeling like the end of the year is the perfect (cliche) time of the year to write something meaningful.

So here I am again....instead of counting down to the new year...I'm sitting here in front of my computer. In previous years I would have been asleep already. Or I would be watching others ring in the new year as I jealously hoped that one day I would be one of them. So then I gave up and decided to always sleep early on New Year's.

What did 2010 bring? 2010 was a whirlwind. I feel like I blinked and then the year was over. Actually everything since I graduated from USC in 2009 felt like it happened in a blink of an eye.

I think the most valuable thing that I've learned to do is be honest with myself. I I think a lot of my life naturally fell into place once I began to be honest with myself. I built a better relationship with myself by being honest and not pretending to myself. I showed myself the cold reality of my life and I also celebrated how great my life is without having to pretend to be modest about my accomplishments. No living up to appropriate social norms in my head...maybe in the world...but I didn't censor my feelings to myself or rather "lie" and tell myself what i wanted to be.
