It’s been over a year since my last post and boy things really have changed. My last few posts in 2021 were mainly about my life in KL vs. my life in Sabah. After the pandemic, I realised how far away we left from family. I’m happy to say that that’s changed now and I’ve been a resident of KL for over a year now! Now that I live in Kl, I find myself coming back to Sabah everytime I can. I’ve taken 4 round trip flights in the past 2 and a half months, spending at least a week here in Sabah. It really takes me being away from home for me to value it. I’m moving abroad in a few months and I’ll be even further away from home then. It’s not going to be so easy to catch the next plane out when I’m feeling blue. I’ll admit that when I feel a bit low my first instinct is always to come back to the comfort of home. I wonder how that’ll fare when I’m abroad.
Another update is that I’m pleased to say that I never gave up writing. Except now all my writing is in 6 A5 journals that I carry everywhere with me. This blog was a small piece of me and my life but in my journal, I write like a madwoman knowing that it’s private to my eyes only. This blog was supposed to be more for my photojournalism but I find that I rarely use my heavy DSLR. I’m liking the idea that maybe I am more of a social blogger. However, I have no relevence yet, so this blog still feels like it’s for my eyes only. It’s widely different writing knowing no one will read it and writing knowing someone will see it, the biggest difference being the vocabulary and cohesiveness of my thoughts.
I’m trying to see ahead. Focus on the present with regard to the future. a part of me always thought I’d end up a writer but as much as I enjoy writing, I don’t wanna turn my passion into a career. I’m scared I’ll lose my love for writing. This blog brings back memories and shows me how capable I am. I hope to continue updating it throughout my years.
