Here goes.
Stepping back into the world of writing was something I had considered for the past year or so because of its therapeutuc nature. I had considered but not taken action.
A conversation with a friend yesterday brought about many memories of what I used to be like and how I have changed over the years in university. I was encouraged to get back into blogging and I thought, that's not a bad idea at all.
It is the last year of university... a stage of change and adaptation, just like when I first came to Dunedin in 2009. I want to make this year count. I need to make it a year to remember. I should achieve goals I am constantly making.
Everybody seems to reflect back on the year gone by with both positives and negatives noted. Do I need to do it too? When I tend to live in the past anyway...
2013 has been an eventful year, I have lost and found many things - things that I feel will constantly be at the edge of the cliff even this year and many years to come. It was a year of questions and no answers, deep thoughts without solutions.. and more what ifs and should haves like every year would bring about.
I guess it wasn't that wise to start a blog with my current mindset. There are a lot of issues and wounds I would have to disclose.
But I will always believe in the penguin with the parachute. One that is uncertain whether or not they can fly.. and hence taking precautions. That is my current motto. Yes I would love to be the ever confident penguin.. but I've always been the timid one. One step at a time.. a parachute won't hurt.
I will be back to tell a story. A story of why I have changed, who had changed me, and how I am changing. With my parachute on, hopefully the wounds will start to close, scar away and heal eventually.
