I have never been the kind of person who writes things down. Well, almost never. I take pictures, save random screenshots, record videos, send messages, and convince myself I will remember most of the moment. Sometimes I do, but most of the time I don’t. Recently, I have considered how weird it is. We have so many moments which seem important when they happen, but then they gradually disappear. For example, some late conversation or an ordinary day that began just like any other day. Some place you visit for the first time. Something someone said that you remember for weeks. A version of yourself you do not even know you will miss when it is already gone. I think I have forgotten hundreds of moments like this. Probably that is one of the reasons why I started this blog. I have no big message. I am not trying to say that I know everything about life. Honestly, I still have many things to figure out.
I am currently in my twenties and living abroad while studying in college and meeting different people. I am going through many experiences now that I would have never thought of a few years ago. It sometimes feels like I am a different person from who I was before; for some things, I used to care very much are no longer so important for me; even the way i look towards many individuals and situations has changed significantly. I know that this process will keep on happening which is why I feel like writing. I don’t mean that I want to give people some advice regarding their life but to document the process. I may write about my life events, or I may write about something I have been thinking of for some time, or about a place I have visited, or about a song I have heard.
I don’t want this website that seems to be one of those sites that expect everything to be perfect. I don’t want to write this blog as if I know all the answers. What I want is a place to write my thoughts because I believe it is nice to be able to read what you thought at a certain stage of your life. Years from now, I might read this and laugh at how seriously I took everything I was writing about. I might even disagree with lots of things I wrote in the past or fail to recognize the person who wrote them as I have changed by that time. Anyway, I believe that this is what the purpose of this blog is. I would like to have something to remember instead of just wondering.
