My First Wandering Step

With the close of 2021, I set myself an overarching theme for the year ahead: Introspection.

To raise my self awareness, and examine my thoughts and ideas as I go about my daily living.

I realised that during the past few years of my life as a young working adult, my days would go by without much intention. The times when I felt genuine interest and curiosity in learning and experimenting new things were limited as the busyness of work and life commitments gradually took over as I embark on the journey into adulthood. Simply put, I began to walk the paths that were already cleared and explored by many that has gone before me. Paths that are predictable and safe. Does this apply to you as well?

To be completely honest, I feel there is nothing wrong in choosing predictability and stability when journeying through life. However, it gets dangerous once you begin to lose the spark of curiosity or the development and expression of your own opinions and perspectives on matters in life. In this precious life that I have been blessed with, I want to view the world through my own lenses, make my own judgements and decisions based on the values that resonate with me such that my journey can be one that I can call my own.

Upon realising how I want to pursue life going forward, I gave myself this new challenge of starting a blog to document my independent thoughts and ideas. My goal is also to make this space an avenue where I can recount the stories of my past experiences, reflect upon them and distill useful lessons that I might have overlooked. As I gather the courage and determination to embark on this new challenge of mine, I hope that my thoughts and ideas here are able to inspire you to lead a life with more intention as well.

Let the wandering journey begin!
