It’s been a long time since I browsed and checked on my blog. I just realized my blog will turn 10, yes, 10th year anniversary! Say whaaaat?! Hell yeah!
I couldn’t believe that it’s been almost a decade since I started here. Now I feel like I’m walking in a memory lane where things are flashing back in my head. I couldn’t help as well that I have been doing a lot lately with my life and has been busy adulting.
I remember the very first day, I was still in college, trying to figure things out because I saw an ad online saying “Start your blog - tumblr” And so did I. It has been a fruitful decade of my life since I started from teenage years up to now, early adulthood. It makes me think about those people I’ve met here, how are they doing now? Do they still remember me? How about the friendships that were made? And also the ones that parted away?
Now I am older, I don’t give a damn anymore to what people will say about me. As much as possible I just want to be private, quiet and just enjoying my life away from everyone. That doesn’t sound like me right? *for those who know me well* I changed 360 degrees and I realized a lot of things during these years.
I have been a type of person so welcoming, bubbly and can be a friend to everyone. I still am but I am wiser. I just don’t want to invest to something not worth it. Of course we get older, we spend more time with our loved ones - our families. However, it’s normal that people will forget you and to me what’s important are the great memories you had with those people and cherish it. I am now that person who spend my time wisely and I am more of a positive vibe person whilst eliminating the negative ones. But that’s true, not until you reach this point in your life, you won’t understand it yet. People come and go, so I just learned to welcome them, hug them and say goodbye, whispering “until next time”. If they come back, that’s great but if not, it’s still ok.
If you are wondering what am I busy with, I am still doing my profession as a nurse. I am a full bag of adrenaline every single day as I work in the ER. I love it yet I hate it. Do I even make sense? Let me put it this way, I love it because I am saving lives, I hate it cus it’s beating my body down. I’ve met a lot of nurses becoming sick and even dying from the stress of the profession itself and exposure to every single infection you could ever imagine. That’s why to all nurses, take care of yourselves, take your breaks, take vacations, spend more time with family. Have a mental day off. You do everything so you matter too. You have to care for yourselves as well. Work is just work and just part of your life and not your whole life. If you make your work as your life, you’ll be missing a lot. As I have said, I value my time now, I am not workaholic anymore as I want to spend more time with my family and also with my fianceé.
Travelling is my therapy, not in a sense I have to fly somewhere but just by driving into the woods or going to the coast and watch the sunset, that’s perfection for me. I love my life and I love when I make an impact to others. And what makes it great is you take care of your own self too right?
Btw, I do now go to the gym religiously and I have a goal to reach that ideal body that I blurred for so many years. I can’t imagine I am now lifting weights. I am also now a Vegan and I highly recommend plant-based meal. It will cure your body and it will make you feel better and energized.
Last time I posted here seriously was years back, I have so much to tell but how are you guys? How life has been with you? I hope everyone is doing amazing you beautiful people.
Talk to me if you need anything. Have a wonderful day to y'all.
