It has been twelve years since I started this blog, twelve long years where I've gone from an idealistic Journalism student to a jaded woman, older but definitely not wiser. This blog began as an assignment that was part of my journalism course, and as I never ever had any readers or anybody who cared enough about my writing, this has now become a personal journal of sorts, one that I send out into the great void that it the internet in the third decade of the 21st century.
There are many things that I have shared through the course of my journey, but I saw that most of my posts have been about my great loves, reading, music, family, life etc. Despite suffering from depression for the better part of two decades, I still have great loves you see, and dreams that are still meant to be realised..... Life is bad and can get better....but I still love life..... Rain, good food, the company of my mother, great music, recently Kpop dance videos etc make me happy albeit for a small amount of time, but I still have the ability to seek happiness in small moments in life.
This random entry is by no means the great feat of literary hijinks that I aspired to, when I began this blog, but the ability to write a coherent sentence is something that I've come to appreciate more and more as I advance into my 30s. It is a confusing decade, that has brought about some unexpected pitfalls not related to the usual process of aging that plagues us Millennials.
But the reason for this post is to remind myself that despite everything, I have still managed to keep up this blog for 12 whole years, which to my mind has been a great learning experience for someone like me, I see that my style of communicating has changed and perhaps become more of a reflection of who I am as a person, whilst when I began this it was more about following a given assignment with a guideline. I hope that I can keep this up for a long time, perhaps be more regular. So here's to another twelve years of writing this blog.
