New Year, 'New Me'...

Hey people!!

I know my previous post was about New Year (I think...) but I want to write about how much I've changed in the past two years...


Two years ago, we had to choose our options for our GCSEs, and I chose art. I was really happy with that choice, but now I'm not so sure....

See, two years ago, I was listening to stuff like Taylor Swift and James Blunt. I had a 'normal' hair cut, and didn't wear much make-up. I couldn't stand outfits with no colour (as in wearing all black). I wore skinny jeans and normal t-shirts, hoodies and boots...

Fast forward two years and I listen to 'emo', metal and punk-rock music, I am attempting to make my hair be all floppy and fringe, wear waaaayyy too much eyeliner and constantly wear either all black, or skinny jeans and an ill-fitting band shirt. I am the person I swore I'd never become... 

Oops... 

I guess the point of this post is, 13 years old is too young to know who you're going to be when you're older. 

Because I'm not who I thought I'd be. 

When I was thirteen, I genuinely thought I'd be, maybe not a girly-girl, but definitely not an emo/punk/whatever I am. This may not be the case for all people; my best friend knew exactly what she wanted to be, and she's following that path right now. 

But  don't limit yourself until you're sure of who you are going to be. 

I'm sixteen years old, and I think I know who I am, and what I want to do when I'm older. Even if I change, I think my career will still mean something to me, because it's something I've been influenced by (no, I don't plan on being in a band [if it happens, it happens], I want to be a sound engineer). 

So, I guess what this post is about, is to always be true to yourself, and do what you enjoy. You'll change anyway, so don't try and change yourself before you're ready. 

Um, yeah...
