hi ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ this is ananya vasu.. i won’t delete this blog bc nostalgia and also my family’s comments are cute but pls don’t acknowledge any of this if you ever google my name and this comes up. i’m only posting this now because i finally made it public again after like 9??? years. i took a look at my drafts and realized i had one not published from november 2013 🥺 this is what the dated paragraph looks like
“do you know what acronyms are? That was a dumb question, you probably know I'm going to answer if for you. You can use them on the internet, or use it like a shortcut on texting. But lately, it's kind of sort of going out of control. I was hanging out with my friends (yes, hang, we are "too old" to say play), and we were talking, and then Evan brings up the subject of acronyms. And I don't have any thing against LOL or OMG, but like there is GTG (got to go) and BRB (be right back)”
i haven’t talked to evan since i was like 11 but whatever. i’m actually pretty sure only 2 people will read this but i’m writing this for my sake/little ananya. i don’t really view little ananya as the same human being that i am, like not even in an emotional sense but when i read this blog i keep envisioning i’m reading a cousin write this, and then i see something so disgustingly american i come to my senses and realize that the Ananya Vasu that tried her best to use proper grammar even though she was in 3rd grade is actually the same ananya vasu that makes typos in every sentence she writes simply bc it’s easier or funnier and refuses to use capital letters!
i wish little Ananya Vasu knew her blog would form her love of writing and i wish she knew 19 year old ananya vasu was a journalism major (and pre med!). i wonder if little Ananya Vasu even knew what journalism meant
i wish little Ananya Vasu knew she wouldn’t be friends with most of the people mentioned on here but i also wish she knew some of them stuck around :)
the good/important things little ananya vasu didn’t know what was coming:
