Blogging at a new location

April 15th, 2008

So… I’ve made the transition.

My primary blog spot will be www.icomefromforeign.com.

I’m not getting rid of trusty old DScottGRRL, though, have no fear.

And she will always hold a special place in my heart.

DScottGRRL chronicled my first year in Los Angeles.

It was my first attempt at blogging and I’m very proud of the effort. I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with writing and DScottGRRL helped me work through a lot of those issues.

Wihtout DScottGRRL, there would be no I Come From Foreign.

I realised that a great deal of my posts were about that ambivalence I felt and feel about being from one place and living in another and how it has affected the way I live and interact with others.

I’m not always proud of how I’ve dealt with the conflict, and, unfortunately, a lot of DScoTTGRRL casts a bit of a gloomy light on what it’s feels like to be “from foreign.”

I hope to change that with I Come From Foreign. There is so much good that has come out of my experiences in Trinidad, Miami, and Los Angeles, and I want to feel like I’m a better person for it.

Because I know it was not all in vain.

I am better off now–in life, in love–than I’ve ever been and I want to celebrate that.

That said, there are a lot of posts on DScottGRRL that really capture for me the growing process of accepting where you are now and making the most, hopefully, out of your life as it is now and I’d like to re-share those with you (see below for links to my favourite DScottGRRL posts)

I’ll still be posting to DScottGRRL every now and again on things not relating to being “in foreign” so if you like what you read, go ahead and add me to your feed reader!

Now please go over to I Come From Foreign and let me know what you think! I’m only two posts in but I’ll be aiming to post at least 3x a week. And I’m finally doing my book reviews!

Life is good :)
