Revisiting

 


It's been 4 years since my last post and something compelled me to look for things from my past again. I've been itching to create, looking for inspiration, or perhaps something to ground me again. The past few years, I've been diving head first into relationships, career, school, and all of it occupied my mind in different ways. I have to admit that being busy has uprooted me and now that things are quieting, all I'm yearning for me again.

Looking back from where I'm standing now, I seem to have it all. I have the “Tuesday kind of love” that I posted about in a past blog post. I'm now engaged and planning a wedding. It's almost crazy to think about. I still think its strange to do adult things sometimes. I guess this is why I'm here. I wanted to make sure everything I'm doing is with purpose and intention, or simply because it feeds my soul. Not for the likes, the followers, the impressions. I don’t even think people read this blog, which is a way for me to write to an unknown reader. But really I'm writing for myself. Thoughts out loud.

I guess I need to talk to myself again. There was this quote I saw online that goes something like “if you don't talk to yourself, then you’ll only listen to yourself”. Talking myself out of doubt, fear, loneliness, sadness had been a way for me to keep grounded and remember who I am. I'm my best advocate and best friend.

Birthday Weekend in Iceland


With 2017 being so drastically strange and different, what better place to go on spend my birthday than in the land of contrasts. With its rough, black lava rocks peeking beneath the plush, white layer of snow, we see contrasting elements juxtaposed everywhere. It is, after all, the land of fire and ice.

Lady Bird

Over the weekend, Lady Bird won a Golden Globe for Best Picture - Comedy or Musical, and an enormous wave pride swept over Sacramento as we watched Greta Gerwig give her acceptance speech. “I want to thank my mom and dad and the people of Sacramento, who gave me roots and wings and helped me get where I am today,” she exclaimed in tears. “Thank you, thank you!”
