Talk to me sometimes …

As an introvert person, all of my friends would know this, I tend to write and express a lot more on social media than I do outside. Sometimes, I do not even say a word while I am meeting with friends, not because I do not want to, but that is my personality in which I love to listen more. If you ask me whether which one represents the real me, online or offline? I would say offline because to be honest my activities on social medias are not really the natural me because I am actually not that talkative. But if you choose to judge me based on my life on those platforms, I don’t have any right to stop your opinions because it is true that I do that and I might have made a mistake of being that way. Admittedly, I am not a perfect person. I have made countless mistakes in life and surely I am going to make more in the future. However, I hope the upcoming ones will not be the same as the last ones. I will not deny any of my flaws that people would have talked about me. Yet, what I truly wish for is that they should have met and talked with me outside before they had ideas of me.

“Does Life Have a Happy Ending?”

“The problem with happy endings is that they’re either not really happy, or not really endings, you know? In real life, some things get better and some things get worse. And then eventually you die.” – John Green

Happy endings might have fooled you to favor the terms. But we tend to forget that the ending of all of us is death which is not what we really want, ironically. So I don’t think we should wish for a happy ending of our life; however, we should wish for the best moment we are living in. It is inevitably true that life consists of both ups and downs, which sometimes things get better, and sometimes they get worse. The question is what we should be doing within these situations. 

I would say if good things happen, let’s celebrate and enjoy it. For example, you had applied for a job, and then you were called for an interview. After the interview, the company decided to offer you the position you’d applied for with a great salary, so for this amazing to have occurred, you should tell your family, friends and lovers, and throw a big party together. Sometimes, this moment might never return the second time in your life, who knows?

On the other hand, when you face obstacles in life which bring you down, you should accept and learn from your mistakes. Why do you have to welcome the problems? It’s because they have already existed in your life. You can’t go back in time in order to change what happened, can you? So you don’t have choice, but undertake them. In addition to this acceptance, you should carefully investigate the root causes of your mistakes and thoroughly learn from them, so that you can avoid their repetition in the future.

Unless you really want to die, I don’t think life has a happy ending because death is our ending, and it tears us apart from people whom we love and things that we own. Nobody wants to lose those parts of us even though we really know that we will one day. To me, there is no perfect life in the universe because life is full of countless perfect imperfections; thus, I have never thought that I will be able to possess a so-called perfect life or a happy ending of it. That’s why I always live my life for the moment.

Welcome to my blog!

Battambang, 2019

Being born as an introvert, I find it hard to express myself to other people face-to-face. Sometimes, my ideas are forcefully confined within my mind because I am uncomfortable to utter the words out. Due to this cause, it seems to me that I am keener on writing instead because it is a way of communicating without having to talk.

I started to like writing when I was in high school. Actually, I used to have a few blogs before, but all were purposefully deleted because of some reasons. They were written on mixed topics ranging from education to love and traveling to photography. I kind of had messed up everything together, in which I got lost and I didn’t know what to write next. Thus, I decided to pause for a while. 

Not until did I realize that my most favorite things are traveling and discovering new things, have I found my courage to restart blogging today. Basically, I would like to retain all of my travel experiences within my writing. You know what, I can choose to keep my stories in a personal journal, but my passion to share these experiences with the world is overwhelming. On this site, there will be my personal views on each story and what lessons I have learned, which I am positive that you will gain some interesting ideas from reading them if you truly love exploring things like I do.

Along with this blog, I also include my photographs which I have taken in each post as I believe that words without images are not fully completed. Visualization is important in assisting our brain to virtually receive the information faster and more accurately. Moreover, you will remember the details for a long time. Therefore, I do hope you will enjoy both my stories and photographs.

Cheers,
