I am Young and Restless has been my companion for almost two years and because of it, I had fallen in love with the art of blogging. I became truly passionate about it and I treated 'I am Young and Restless' as my baby. It is the product of all of things that happened in my life and it serves as the documentation of all of my milestones. I am thankful for that but somehow, I felt this sudden urge to change things a little bit. I want to shake things up.

The name 'I am Young and Restless' came from the sixteen year old me who is stuck in a whirlwind of activities. I was a senior then and I have so many things coming up. I was graduating and I have this obligation to finish my high school life in a high note. I have a handful of things in my plate that the titles began to pop up: Canossian, student, catechist, writer, artist, friend, sister, daughter, etc. All of that is me and it shows the different sides of myself. Back then, I love having all of these titles because for me, these titles pertains to how far I've come.

Then I graduated. The strings of titles became so numerous and so long that I don't know what to do with them anymore. Even though I tried to untangle the strings, I am always caught up with them. The frustration to live up to my expectations became stronger and I am getting lost. I've been so many persons that I forgot who I am anymore thus, leading to my decision to kill 'I am Young and Restless.' Of course, those titles that I have will always be with me. I will always be a writer, an artist, a friend, a catechist, a sister, a daughter and everything else but this time, no more hiding. I will not hide myself behind this titles anymore. This time,you will not see a fragment of me. This time, my blog will be real and authentic. No more sugar coating. No more holding back. This time, I will be raw and real.

I will not write because I feel like I need to or because I want to increase the number of page views of my blog. I will write because I want to and because I want to speak my mind. Writing is my passion and I don't want it to disappear because of all of the pressure that has been given to me. So, yes, I am Young and Restless' is dead. But the writing will never stop.
