I know some people are ashamed of or embarrassed by their early days of blogging but I always love looking back at my old blog posts in a nostalgic way- I remember being that person at that time, the feelings, the emotions, the moments and like to think about those times.
I was looking back through this blog post from 2009 entitled And they call it Bunny love. It was a really short post with 17 words and 2 photos including the one below.
So little content but secretly embued with so much hidden emotion and feelings.
The photo was taken by CBC before we had got together and become a couple. We didn't know each other that well. We'd met for a concert and rehearsal in May and then met for another rehearsal and a concert in late July. I thought he was rather lovely but it was rare in my life that someone so lovely that I actually liked would be interested in me and my way of dealing with feelings of attraction was to be awkward and shy and pretend I didn't like the person in case they didn't like me back and didn't like the feeling of being liked nonreciprocating.

| Alice and I |
After the July concert, CBC had suggested going to the pub with our friend A but A wanted to go home. We agreed to go round to A's house to play music together 3 days later. A is the bunny queen and had a new lovely white rabbit called Alice who I wanted to meet. CBC and I had to exchange numbers because he would give me a lift from the station to A's house.
We had a lovely time playing music and eating some lunch. I was cuddling Alice and CBC asked if he could take a photo. He took this one and then sent it to me via text later in the day.
When I look at that photo, I think of that feeling of really liking him a lot and the joy of having an excuse to send a text message and receive a reply. CBC showed the picture to his housemates apparently and I was referred to thereafter as 'Bunny Girl' by them!
This photo makes me think of the early days of love, the uncertainty of feelings, shyness and those delightful moments of communication, dreaming of what ifs and I wish and eventually, when it transpired that he did like me back, the feeling of utter joy and bewilderment. Why did he like me back?
Even a short post, one with few words, few photos, very little shared can have a hidden depth and meaning.
Do you have any blog posts from your early days that you have looked back on with affection like this?
