#resound11: Then and Now (Summing It Up)

December 19, 2011: What was your life like a decade ago? How has your life changed since then? If you’re not feeling wordy today, why not show us some then and now portraits of yourself? #resound11
I can barely remember what I did 10 days ago, let alone 10 years ago. So, just the facts.
10 years ago, I…
was in better shape (but not great shape by any means and then it got much worse over the next 10 years), was in love, had an active social life, hated my job, blogged like I got paid for it, lived with my boyfriend, actively tried to make a positive impact on the LBGTPOC community, didn’t have control over my money, created websites in my spare time (for free or little money), thought I’d made a great choice by moving from Chicago to Atlanta, was developing online relationships, laughed a lot.
Now, I…
am trying to get into better shape than I was 10 years ago, am in love again (but it’s complicated), don’t have a social life to speak of, love my job, blog so seldom I don’t use the title ‘blogger’, live with housemates, passively watch the LBGTPOC community and shake my head most days, control my money like a boss (hyperbole), create websites in my spare time (and charge much more), think I made a good choice by moving from Chicago to Atlanta (but ‘good’ can be improved upon), have met most of my online family and love them to death, don’t laugh enough.
