Believe it or not, I find encouragement through blogs. I followed and became a long-time reader to some blogs and there are one or two blogs have become private or deleted. Through these blogs I know I was not alone walking on rough road, face road blocks and lost direction.
For instance, my first trip to South Korea last February. It used to be a dream that impossible for me to achieved due to my financial constraint, work commitment, lack of supports etc etc. Later, I learned new vocabulary like perseverance, persistence etc. and there were too many post-it notes filled with encouragement words patched on my wall. Tears were my best friend every night.
Stepping on SK land is a new beginning of my life chapter. It’s like I have found my happiness again that once severely shattered. And for almost 3 weeks there, I lived in my dream. I brought back positive vibes and I am comfortable being in my own skin. But then I realised, I am the only one who have changed and my surroundings are still the same. So I have difficulties in adapting to it.
Again, blogs save me. Taking me to see same challenges but from different perspective.
I started blogging when I was 22 years old when I silently reading a friend’s blog. Hey, all his secrets were in my hand that time! haha… I thought blogging was cool so I give it a try. As far as I can remember, I used to have 7 (?) blogs and I have deleted all of them due to… God knows why. I found long lost friend through my previous blog – it happened when she blog-hopping and suddenly found me. Now, I feel the urge to start blogging again. It serves as a diary; recording personal achievements and capturing moments. I feel good after venting out on this space.
I hope someday, my children could read their mommy’s life journey and learn a thing or two. Whoa… I dream big, ey? I think I will keep blogging to achieve this.
For you who landed on my ‘land’, I welcome you wholeheartedly. But just like how you visit someone’s house, do give a little respect by not hurting the host, okay.
