Progression


I’ve been thinking of writing.

I’m not good at it, but I still feel like if possible I should try and write out some of my opinions, experiences and thoughts when I feel inspired to. Also, because a few weeks ago I discovered an app called Timehop. Basically it gathers up all your Facebook updates, twitter posts, and photos from your phone etc. and then puts them into a timeline that gives you a look back at what you were doing on this day in history. Since I’ve been obsessively checking the app everyday to see what I did in years past it’s made me realize how much you can actually forget about things that happened or that you did even just a few years back. I enjoy the way you get to reflect back on your former self. To see how you socialized online year to year. And most of all to see how much you change.

You really don’t realize how much you grow until you’re looking back at your seventeen year old self in 2009 tweeting about cleaning your room or quoting taylor swift song lyrics.

Progression is an interesting thing, you can’t tell it’s happening.
But you can clearly see it when you look back.
