Return Flight: Back to Blogging

 Aaaaand she's back! 

After an almost three-year hiatus, I'm thrilled to write here again. I actually forgot about this. For the longest time, I believed I had writer's block and completely lost the motivation to write. I became exhausted from writing for a living during my time at a publishing company. No hate towards that profession—it's just not for me anymore. I truly admire those who are genuinely passionate about it and do it full-time. It's hard work, but it becomes easier when it's your passion. I found myself creatively drained so I transitioned to a tech company and am now working as a linguist. Going back, the past years were filled with so much joy that I simply didn't find the time to write. I've realized that happiness doesn't really drive me to publicly put pen to paper. It might sound dramatic, but I find that writing here offers me a sense of healing. So, I'm giving this a chance.

Over the past three years, I've had incredible experiences that brought immense joy to my life. I've traveled to breathtaking destinations that I once only dreamed about. I visited Thailand twice, explored Phuket for the first (and probably last) time, traveled to several more countries, and enjoyed trips within the Philippines. I never thought I'd be able to do that. For that, I'm grateful. Along the way, I've met new friends and tried different things for the first time. I've had really great moments that made me happy, burst out laughing, motivated me, and even brought tears to my eyes. From the thrilling highs to the most touching vulnerabilities, I know every experience has deeply impacted me. My life took unexpected turns, and I navigated through circumstances that were beyond my control, something that was so much bigger than me. There will always be hope in my heart and it guides me towards the things I love doing. While this blog once revolved around fashion and beauty, my interests have evolved. Now, I'm drawn to writing about the passions that ignite my spirit - getting active, running, playing sports, traveling, and embracing the excitement of life's adventures. How about I write down more of my life's realizations here? Until next time, stay inspired, stay active, and keep chasing your dreams.

xoxo,
