Farewell 2019
As I pen down my last post for the year, I can’t help but think about my readers, and with a grateful heart, I say thank you. For some of us, 2019 has been a memorable year. We experienced a roller coaster of emotions, mostly relationship related. We experienced great joy and great sadness, fulfillment and disappointment, love and heartbreak. And then for some of us, love again. As for me, I was found, and I found myself, which makes 2020 a much-anticipated year. I look forward to exploring my newly discovered self.

The End of One Love is The Beginning of Another
I saw a celebratory dance move a friend posted on his social media status and he captioned it “after a serious heartbreak that left me introverted for 2 months”. I responded with a laughing emoji knowing he was well over it. But it made me think or all those love we’ve had that ended. How did we survive them? Well, the end of one love is the beginning of another. When love dies, another love grows. This line of thought made me ponder the age-old question, what is love? And for the first time in my introspective journey, I arrived at an unusual answer, love is a person. I was…
