It’s been over 3 years since I’ve written on my blog. I remember in college when my favorite TAs had blogs and they stopped updating it and I always wondered what happened to them. Did they fall off the face of the earth? But I understand now. It’s hard to keep writing consistently, and it just took a back seat in my life and I was less interested in sharing my thoughts. I also didn’t fall off the face of the Earth, and it’s been quite a formative couple of years learning to navigate my adult life.
I want to start writing again because I am deeply interested in exploring my artistic side these days. As a writer, as a dancer, as an artist, as a performer. I've also started reading poems, which has been a lot of fun! Most of my life has been focused on aspects and activities that have concrete measurements: there’s a grading scale for classes, school rankings, pingpong ratings and awards. I think pingpong was the closest thing to art that I did, but even then, I do not think that the way I played pingpong and my approach towards it was artistic, but very technical. And now in this chapter of my life, I would like to focus on more subjective goals.
And I guess my goal isn’t to become the best artist or make a career out of it, but to express myself. I do hope to get better at writing and dancing and all of these other things, but the main goal is to feel alive and to have fun.
So I’ll be trying to write more. No guarantees, since this is mainly for me and perhaps I would like to keep my thoughts about things more internal. And there’s been a lot of work and school content in the past, but probably not as much in the current future. I will keep the life thoughts content.
