Opening note: 2022

HAS IT NOT BEEN A WHILE?!

In my last post, over a year ago, I said I was going to start blogging again, but staying true to my character, I did not follow through (haha!)

I have been thinking about coming back to blogging for a while now, but did not initiate. It's not that I have nothing to write about, in fact I often think about things to write, just that ... life gets in the way – yeah that's the excuse I am sticking to.

I'll try harder, not for anyone else (because c'mon, my blog has little to no traction), but I need to keep my writing skills sharp. I can't afford to keep it dormant.

So what's been up in my life in the past year or so?

• Still working where I was a year ago. Been WFH since January 2021. My only complaint is that I love staying home too much I had to force myself out of the house. Breathe fresh air, look at the sky, feel the sun on my face, interact with people ...

• Finally done with a 7-year on-off relationship that was going nowhere. No hard feelings there, we are still on good terms. I never believed he was a bad person, just perhaps his intentions towards me weren't the best. During the course of our relationship, I wasn't the best version of myself, too, and I have started working on that.

• I started therapy and it has been very helpful. Thankfully CBT worked for me. Moving on from my first, I've started seeing a new mental health professional since a couple of months ago. However, before we proceed further, there are some behavioural and mental issues I need to look into first.

• I'm getting certified as a translator! After a course of over 10 weeks, I sat for my final exam yesterday and could expect results in a couple of months (I'll write about my experience in coming posts). Translating is really something I enjoy, and I feel so lucky I'd be able to make money out of it.

HONOURABLE MENTION: Not long after ending my last relationship, I started seeing someone new, a brilliant, thoughtful, level-headed man. Things have been going great but I would refrain to comment on how this would turn out, I wouldn't want to trouble myself with things not within my control.

Yeah, that's about it.

Consider this an opening note, I'll be coming back. NOPE WAIT. I am back.
