How Rye doing?

As I started to take more control of my digital footprint I forgot about this little blog. Reading some of the older posts its hard to delete this because for better or for worse it captured me at a very unique time in my life.

So I guess I'll keep it until my mind changes. Not saying I'll update every day or week. Hell I may never even update again after this but who knows.

So the topic for today's random blog is self "truth." Finding that balance of who you are while keeping an open mind to new things.

Growing up everyone went through phases. I went from grunge plaid and jnco jeans to 36 waist Mecca jeans and xxl ecko shirts basically overnight. My cousin went from goth punk to hipster daisies in a week. 

I find it funny when you think you start to dislike something you find yourself embracing all the things that are opposite  of that thing. And you ride that opposite train because its new and different but its a constant internal struggle to figure out what is "real."

Is the notion of the new and different clouding your own senses of what you truly like or is it the moment of defining your truth? 

You grow and learn new things about yourself everyday and sometimes the new and exciting things steers you away from your norm. It's not a bad thing and actually I think it makes you an all around better person but there is a bit of truth in every aspect and every phase of your life. And sometimes in those rare moments you find yourself, after all the new and different has become old and stagnet, that the love you had before was always the true you to begin with.
