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.
