A few weeks ago I had been hit with a crazy surge of emotions. I think the solitude due to the quarantine and lock down season triggered it. My emotions this time were mostly based on loneliness and depression, and so I did what I do best: write.…
Will I ever find love again? This is a question that I ask myself constantly. It has been nearly three years since my last ‘real’ relationship. For sure, I have dated…well, tried to date in those three years. But as soon as a date ends, and we bid each other adieu, I cannot help but think to myself that I will never find love again. Is it just…
Now I have travelled to four different continents, and more than 15 countries, but Latin America just seems too far. Originally, I come from Asia and from my home continent, Latin America is probably one of the furthest places I can ever go to. The thought of the distance bothers me, but a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do...…
I read a quote once that said, “Children don’t hear us. They imitate us.” Because, you see, children don’t really listen to what we tell them. Instead, they’d mimic us. They don’t care what you say, what they’ll notice is what you do. That’s the simple truth.…

What is it, you ask? Well, it is diving back into the dating scene. How does a person, who has been so accustomed in a long term relationship, dive back into…
I used to be one of those people who posted everything online. I would post what I ate, what I was wearing, where I was going and how my day has been. I wanted the attention. I needed the attention. I felt like I was important whenever my 'friends' on Facebook would like my photos or my status. I thought that was it, and it, somehow, validated my…
I was scrolling through Facebook and I saw this photo from one of the inspirational pages that I follow. It says, "If it's not going to matter in five years then you shouldn't spend five minutes being sad about it."…
Now here's a scary thought: self love. I always thought that loving myself before others was wrong and selfish, so I pushed my personal needs and feelings aside so I could focus on others. I always told myself that it's better this way, and that it was the right thing to do...or so I thought.…
I know I'm a bit late for the "new year, new me" wrap-up post since I have been working a lot lately, but it's better late than never...or so they say.…
