new blog, new beginnings?

oh wells..so here it is. my brand new blog! finally. yet another new beginning..

it just seems to me that i've recently been having quite a significant number of these new beginnings in my life. i mean like i've feeling this urge to break out of my comfort zone and do things i've always thought of as impossible, or things i wouldn't have dared to do before. i find myself persuading my friends and myself to be brave and fight hard for what they want, like what's stopping them and all, and at the end of it all we realize it's just those imaginary barriers which we create for ourselves. it just stuff like discomfort at trying something new, navigating unchartered waters.

i guess for me, the biggest such thing i've had to grapple with this year so far is, cliched as it sounds, having to form different kinds of relationships with the people around me (especially with girls). i know i've never been the outgoing and sociable sort of person, i'm always afraid to talk to new people and all, but this year has taught me to break out of that shell. all those og gatherings, class gatherings, all the way to WOW, have certainly shaped me into a different person. i'm definitely less shy now, more willing, sometimes maybe eager, to make new friends and form new bonds with them.

but i look around me and i realize i still have a long, long way to go....sighh
