It’s been three years since my last post, and a lot has happened in that time. I’ve loved and been loved back. I’ve formed meaningful relationships, but I’ve also faced my fair share of roadblocks. I took some leaps, and while they didn’t always turn out as expected, they panned out okay (I think). One of those leaps involved moving to a new country. I’ve read a lot—and yet, also so little. My hard work has been recognized and rewarded, but my mental health has never been as unsettled as it is now. I’ve never felt more certain about what I’m doing, yet I’ve never felt this lost either.
Life is good, though there’s still a long way to go. Over a month ago, I decided to step back from social media. I needed to preserve my sanity, collect my thoughts, make time for the things I’ve always wanted to do, and, perhaps most importantly, escape the constant pressure to post. So, in short, while everyone else is rushing toward short-form video, I’m running back to my written blog—where I once found peace. Oh, how the tables have turned!
What am I expecting from this? Nothing more than what I always have. This could be where I gather the chaos in my mind and make some sense of it—or not. I want to share my experiences, thoughts, travels, book reviews, and maybe even series, and movie reviews. I know this goes online, but without any monetary investment, I also know that very few people will likely read it. And I think that’s exactly what I want—to share, but not exactly.
But you know what? Don’t believe me. I always end up breaking my self-made social media commitments. Why would this be any different? But for now, here are pictures of me at a bookstore.
