Out in the Open

Inspired by Jin Joson’s journal in DeviantArt, my fourteen-year-old self discovered the joy of reading about people’s adventures and also the fulfillment in sharing stories of my own. She had a wonderful way with words. She shared what seemed (I'm pretty sure that some of it were simple day-to-day things; it's just that she was brilliant in presenting them) to be a luxurious lifestyle but not a single one of it felt like she was bragging. It inspired me. Not only did I want to write like her, I also wanted to be able to enjoy my life and be able to present it so that people would know that the world is such a beautiful place if we just all know where to look.

I used to be able to blog much more. Maybe because I had more time when I was younger or there were less people who branded my blogging as attention-whoring. But now, I have come to the conclusion that I don’t care how people see it and I’m also not obliged to explain why I do it. This is me having fun and doing things I want. This is me living my life.
