One year ago today I had no idea I’d be living in Northern Virginia. (But then again, I had no idea where I’d be. Maybe California? Or Wisconsin? Or North Carolina?)
One year ago today I wouldn’t have dreamed that I would quit my first job out of college after less than a year. (Let alone find a better one doing something I like.)
One year ago today I was single. (I still am.)
One year ago today I thought I was going to find a job in science. Or consulting. Or go to grad school. For more science. Or maybe business. Or computers.
One year ago today I didn’t know how much I could learn in a year without being motivated by a GPA. (Turns out, a lot more.)
One year ago today I couldn’t imagine being out to my mom. (A few weeks ago, for the first time, I told her about a date that went really badly. And she consoled me.)
One year ago today I said goodbye to close friends I knew I’d never see again. (Because that’s how These Things go.)
One year ago today I graduated college.
One year ago today I was scared.
Today I am confident. (Imperfect, but confident.)
In the course of a year, I have become a new person.
How have you changed in a year?
A year ago I didn’t know what I was doing with my life, I still don’t. But I’ve learned more about myself and what I enjoy. I’ve learned more than I thought possible about CSS (and have so much more to learn!) and blogging (even though I’d been doing it for years…but so casually).
A year ago I was living in a house full of supportive friends. Now I live with one very supportive person but I sometimes miss the community.
A year from now…well I wouldn’t mind being a professional blog consultant. :)
“One year ago today I couldn’t imagine being out to my mom.” congrats. That’s a hard step..
