Hello Goodbye!

In the blink of an eye, here we are, at the tail end of 2023. Seriously, where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday I was stuck in the whirlwind of 2019, a time when my travel plans were multiplying, and life seemed almost too good to be true. Ah, the days of dreaming big! I used to have this ritual of evaluating my resolutions as the year wound down, jotting down all the exciting things I wanted to do or achieve in the coming year. But then, the pandemic hit, and it flipped my world upside down. Suddenly, I found myself morphing into a whole new version of myself--disorganized, unmotivated, and dare I say, a bit slothful. Lol, never in my dream! 2023 arrived, and I was still navigating this maze of change. It wasn't the typical fresh start I'd anticipated. Instead, it was like I had to learn to dance to a completely different rhythm--one that I wasn't quite familiar with. Life took an unexpected turn, and I had to adapt, reshape my goals, and find a new groove in ...

It's kind of hilarious how I can effortlessly find myself falling for someone. Yep, you read that right--I'm a quick faller. Go ahead, have a good laugh at my expense. Is it love at first sight?

I observe their gestures, read their words, and listen to their speeches. And then, just like that, I find myself falling.  You might be wondering, how and why do I do this?

Once upon a time, I had this dream--a dream that adulthood would bring boundless freedom into my life. I envisioned a world where I could earn my own keep, buy whatever I desired, and saunter home at any hour without a lecture. The autonomy to shape my life, well, that was the goal. Of course, there was the small detail of paying bills, but I figured that was a minor detail in the grand scheme of things. As the years rolled by, reality struck me with a force I had not anticipated. The initial years of working felt like I was on cloud nine. I was the first among my peers to earn some cash, and with that came a sense of arrogance. I became closed-minded, thinking my current job was enough in terms of both financial gain and recognition. Little did I know, I was missing out on golden opportunities that were right in front of me, all because of my narrow perspective. Then, life took an unexpected turn. The pandemic hit, altering everything I thought I knew. Those things I considered routin...
