So, I decided to start a blog. Part of me has always wanted to venture elsewhere apart from my regular banal schooling life and perhaps figure out what it is that I actually like doing. For the longest time, I have been writing. I write because I want to express myself and also remind myself. I find writing a wonderful way to express what I can really think of and believe in, especially in such a chaotic mind like mine, being able to organise my thoughts in writing is something I’ll always appreciate. It also helps me to remind myself of who I used to be, how much I’ve grown and also what I should carry with me as I grow up. A lot of what I have written has been in private or on Tumblr, but I finally thought to myself, why not start a blog?
I was propelled into it too because today was a day I suffered probably my most severe breakdown, a breakdown that, finally, made me seek my mother for help. I was so glad that I did and the learning points from that perhaps will be shared in another post, but what I mainly took away was that there is so much more to life than what I’m stressing about, so much more of a perspective that I keep failing to see. So this, this is a start.
There are some expectations to be managed here. Perhaps if my writing gets me somewhere, I might do something about it, I could see that happening. However, all this here, all of it will be for my own personal satisfaction and utility. I want a record of who I am and what I am capable of. I hope this will be just that.
Also, I will be sharing some of my Tumblr writings in the upcoming posts just because I want to keep a record of everything.
Hope this turns out to be more than just an ephemeral exuberance!
