Obligatory First Post

Hello, friends (hi, Nicole!), I have returned to blog another day. I very recently (in the matter of a couple of days) decided to start blogging afresh. I'm not sure if this will become much of a habit as it was for me when I was a teenager - I was way more open than I ever thought I was and maybe that's still true, all things considered - but we'll see where this goes. 

I'm not sure what to say or how to start this off, but I am quite tired from this week. Brain empty, eyes fluttering, heart relieved. The weekend is far too short, though it has barely begun. 

My best friend and I recently met up with a classmate from middle/high school and it was interesting but also a little strange to be reunited with someone from a past that I barely remember. You see, every so often, I think about people that I have passed through, that have passed through me, throughout my life. And I wonder, where are they? Who are they? Are they still here? What happened to the kind, artistically talented brunette who used to be my best friend during third grade? Where did the blonde haired girl I knew since we were 5 years old who used to get migraines and listened to Kpop with me during computer class go? One of my favorite memories from high school is me and this girl sitting back to back working on decorations for prom - it's such a minor, maybe even silly, memory but I remember it so fondly as one of warmth. I still recall her name. 

Are there people out there who wonder about me too? 

Reuniting with someone from so long ago reminded me of how different our perspectives and perceptions are. While we may have shared similar experiences in our time during high school, we look back with very different glasses - mine might be slightly rose-tinted unlike theirs. I tend to romanticize people easily because I get carried away with my idea of them rather than staying grounded in reality - it is unkind to do, but I still do it. 

I'm not sure that I'm making much sense so I'll have to call it quits on this post (sorry, Nicole!). Thanks for tuning in to read my nonsensical rambling.

This first post of my new blog is dedicated to Nicole for not laughing at the contents of the blog I began when I was a teenager but instead encouraging me to continue writing and reminding me that I have things to say - thank you. 💙

The blog title is 'Waves' because I think it's fitting for where I am at in my life currently - a little up, a little down, and so on. It's also the title of a song that I quite like by Jhameel, give it a listen. 🌊
