Dear Diary, I’m 32

Well, there’s that, I always try to write some kind of article that express my gratitude for being alive for another year and that article is one of them. I will need to do a year of recap about my life. All in all, I realized that I have been AFK for a very long time so let me tell you all about that in this write up. But first, why am I doing this?

Well, I just turned 32 last Aug 2, and it feels like there’s so much going on in my life except getting some success I have been planning for the longest time, meaning I still didn’t get my shit fixed. I’m still paying huge loans, I am still trying to figure out what I really wanna do with my life. Still didn’t finish language school. Still am trying my best at my job. Still don’t have any money in the bank. In short, still the same person that I was a year ago.

Back To Basics…

Okay, not all of my avid moview readers know that I am also into reading books. Well, I have a long break from reading books…more like a 10-year-gap kind of break. I got busy with life, that’s how it is. although there are also times that I was able to read books through audiobooks, so it’s not actually a good to nothing break. I still had a chance to read some new books through listening to their audiobook versions. But this 2024, I am trying to convince myself that I really need to go back to reading because why not? Especially now that people are finally returning to the reading paperback and hard bounds.

Dating Game: What’s the difference between girls and guys when it comes to dating?

Dating. This is hard to study and navigate. Especially when it comes to its similarities and differences because there’s a lot of them. I think this is a perfect chance to know the things we need to prepare when it comes to dating and I decided to be the one who will give you the little deets that many dating books never tell you.

I know that you’ll ask if what do I know about things like this especially now that I’m actually single. Well, the reason why I’m single is because apparently, I have been dating the wrong way and trying to impress the wrong guys. Curious? Okay let’s begin…

Us girls, we are usually being pursued because that is the society made us believe, well, the thing is, sometimes, being pursued can be a good thing and not-so-good-thing. By the time we like the guy that we are dating, he might have figured out how to read our minds and all the things that they don’t want us to know. Fast forward to this century, I don’t think being pursued is even an option, well, there are some but I think we should know that the generation has changed, most of girls nowadays are independent and can even live up to pursuing whoever they like but the problem is, we are likely to meet guys that take advantage of us no matter what the situation is.

So I think I’ve got a number of them in my list. Funny how I say this but this is as per my experience and friends’ experiences when it comes to dating.

How Life Works With Anxieties?

Every day is a challenge. When was the last time you sat down and know yourself? When was the last time you evaluate how you feel? or when was the last time you were able to control your anger or tears in public? There are so many questions lying around when we talk about mental health. It starts when people ask you “How do you feel?” Coz that simple question is literally a million-dollar worth for a person who doesn’t even know what to feel.

Depression, Anxieties, Panic attacks, they all bring something in someone that we don’t understand; one thing that I learned while experiencing the same is that people will question the validity of the things that you feel; “All of a sudden you change your mood?” these are the words that a person with depression is scared to hear; feeling that whatever they are experiencing is a little invalid for everyone. Coz yes, not everyone will understand you, but you don’t have to explain whatever you feel to anyone. Whatever you feel, it is valid.

Look who’s gonna be back…

Okay, seriously, like it’s been almost a year since I last published my first episode for the 21st Century Barbie podcast and I can’t believe I was so busy with my life for a year and yet nothing was changed at all. Maybe I’m just prioritising the wrong things and I can’t wait to reevaluate everything and hopefully be on the straight path this way … Continue reading Look who’s gonna be back…
