26 in 2 days

I've left this space bare and wanting, and now I'm coming back to fill it with words that need not be hidden; with emotions that need not be felt to be understood. 

I'd be glad to report that my silver year was a boastful one, prided by so many firsts. I couldn't even begin to tell how fulfilling my life has been, and how emotionally-disturbing some things were...

I do not know how things will change, or how getting married or resigning from work will ever make me feel. Right now, I'm just soooo ready for Level 26.

Proofreading

I don't know if this had been a product of my work, but I tend to edit people... SERIOUSLY edit what they say, what they post, whatever. I've been a real-life proofreader, and I don't exactly know how to act it out now.

Several times I edit TV personalities (e.g. celebrities) who often misconstruct a statement. Now, I'm doing it on friend's blogs and Facebook statuses. I currently hate my brain for functioning, alienating every wrong thing like I'm Microsoft Word's freaking spell/grammar checker.

Don't get me wrong. I'm no saint in sentence structure, neither am I perfect in my vocabularies and the whole 'English' picture. I am a repetitive sinner, but I try to avoid them every so often. I am more than aware of it, so I usually double check everything before posting, even re-read them for a couple times just to make sure.

But this little processor in my head just continues to dive into every opportunity to correct, submitting to mental jabs as exercises.You might say that it's a natural thing, I damn well know it is. But, I judge people by this and think of them differently just because they are no grammar masters, and that's the problem. (God, please don't tell me I'm awful)

So before you judge me as a damn hypocrite, would you even find these mistakes forgiving?
I thought so.
