New Blog, New Me

          Well, I wonder how many other bloggers have used that title for their very first blog post. I'm guessing quite a few, but I have been lacking a great amount of creativity for the past year or so, and so this is the title you are getting. Deal with it.
          For those of you who don't know me, my name is Talia. I'm sure I'll do a more detailed post telling you all about me. I don't know how many people will actually be reading this blog, though. I'm guessing not a lot, considering it's a lot harder getting the word out about your blog nowadays. Back then I used to post a link to my old blog on Lisi Harrison's website every time I posted something new, and I was lucky enough to have a handful of girls click that link and actually read the words my brain produced, and what my heart felt the need to share with the world. However, my existence here on the internet is just about as important as my existence here in this world. 
             The answer to that: my existence isn't very important. 
             I used to have an old blog, as mentioned previously. But that consisted of the old Talia. Someone who read and wrote everyday, who loved sappy quotes and Sarah Dessen love stories. Someone who used a lot of exclamation points and caps lock to prove my point. Someone who loved life. I don't know where that girl went. She must have gotten lost in intervals as the years accumulated. I know for sure that I'm not that girl anymore. 
             People talk to me with words of sorrow whenever I tell them that. But I'm not sad about losing the old Talia. I knew I had to shed her some day or the other, so I think in some aspects I was prepared for this. What I was not prepared for was the extreme amount of sadness that was the price of losing who I once was. 
             So, there's one thing you have to learn about me before you consider following me. I'm not a happy person. I'm not going to write happy blog posts all the time. Actually, most of the time my blog posts will be extremely depressing. But not all. There will be the occasional post that will consist of happiness. Because there's actually something incredible that comes along with being sad- when you feel the slightest bit of happiness, you cherish it. You wrap it around your heart so tightly, you fear it might suffocate you. 
             Well, that's all for now. I can't wait to see where this blog will take me. My old one took me on an incredible journey. And who knows? Maybe this new blog will take me on another one. Maybe it won't. Maybe it'll be gone in a week or two. 
             We can only wait and see.
