CELEBRATIONS+CLICHES

As far as crappy videos go, this is one of them. I mean, I think the intro was great (did you like Kristine's sick moves?) but I don't think I did a very good job saying what I really needed to say. DUDE can we get a "but" "and" + "um" count?! I swear I'm not as lame in person.

ANYWAYS. Slightly crap video aside, I wold just like to repeat my self by saying: Yes, it's my 2nd bloggiversary, and I am ever so grateful for all the wonderful things I've accomplished, for all the cool + talented people I've had the pleasure to "meet", and of course, for all of my wonderful readers!

Reflecting on these past two years, I think the most rewarding part of it all was my personal growth. I learned so much about photography, fashion and people, but most importantly--myself. It's so cheesy, but true. I'm so much more sure of myself than I was two years ago. Had I taken a different path than the one I'm on today, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to gain the confidence to a) talk to my parents b) quit a terrible job (and be happy about it) and c) walk down any school hallway or street with my head held high. I think it's safe to say I'm more proud of all the things I've overcome myself than any lame academic achievement. Obviously getting good grades are great, but who's going to care later on in life? GRADES ARE JUST ON PAPER. MOVE ON.

Lastly, here's a timeline of my blog--a list of firsts, achievements and notables.
