hi.
it's been ages since i penned.
not so much because there hasn't been many things happening lately, in fact, more things have happened since the time i stopped writing - than the first half of my life put together.
the past 5 years of my life has been the most earth shattering.
in fact, the past year itself has been one that has shaken, turned me upside down, inside out, and re-aligned me - multiple times, way too many to count.
covid-19 has taught me that everything is ephemeral;
that love does not necessarily dwindle with distance;
that giving myself a break does not indicate a weakness in my being.
it has taken me many years to forge a path for myself,
many years more to convince myself that i am mapping out the right blueprint.
despite my shortcomings,
i strive everyday to live a life absent of regrets,
a purpose fulfilling enough for my endless yearnings.
am i afraid?
yes i am, more than i would ever show.
am i determined?
yes i am, too.
