Revived.

I gave up writing years ago. What happened, you may ask? 

One word, four letters -- L.I.F.E. Bet some of you guessed the other four-letter-word, huh? 😉

Life. It hit me and trust me, it is still hitting until today. But wow, it managed to knocked down one of my most favourite things to do. Well, to be fair.. I was not strong enough. My life objectives weren't crystal. I was still in my early 20s and if I may quote Carrie Bradshaw;

"Enjoy yourself! That's what your 20s are for,"

And I did! My 20s were filled with adventures, experiencing/ experimenting things.. a completely emotional roller-coaster ride (sighs, sometimes I miss those days). And guess what? Some of the things turned out to be something that I love until now -- for example, I never tried ikan keli when I was small. Newsflash: a big fan of it now! LOL 😂

And like every other girls around the globe, I braved through a major break-up during my 20s. A break-up that completely changed how I see and appreciate things.. and people. There are a lot of other ugly deeds in my 20s that I am not proud of, but they are all locked inside a box where I labelled 'Never To Revisit, Ever' so I'm just going to leave them there.

Oh, and Carrie's quote continues..:

"Your 30s are to learn the lessons,"

Well, since my birthday isn't until December - mathematically I'm still 28. But for majority of the people who seems to be very envious of me being born in the most wonderful time of the year.. Yes, I am 29 this year. So the above quoted line is going to get real in less than a year. Did you notice how fast time flies these days?? 😓 So, less than a year, is basically just around the corner! 

Suddenly, I feel like I can't wait to hit the big three. I used to tell B and my friends, "No celebration for my 30th, no birthday wishes, no nothing." But guess what? I am having a total opposite feeling about turning 30 right now, and it's only the second quarter of the year! - Interesting topic that I shall write further 😉 (puts topic in my reminder)

Back to Mrs. Preston's quote: 'Learn the lessons' is quite a powerful sentence, don't you think? Basically it speaks - quit messing around, you can't afford another mistake or else it's going to mentally/ financially/ physically hurt you.

Well some people might have that view on that particular sentence. Here's mine:

Learn that your past should always, at any cost, be avoided to repeat themselves in your 30s. 

Lessons picked up during your downfall, they should always be there at the back of your mind (like an examination invigilator) to guide you through and as your wisdom. 

And if I may add, Keep making mistakes. Brand new mistakes, I mean that's how we will grow anyway. 😊

So here I am again, back in my editor's page and boy am I glad to hear the sound of the keyboard clicking.
