Filler
I know that I said before that I would like to write more on this space, but so far I haven’t been keeping my promise very well huh have I. The thing is, the more I want to write, the harder it seems for me to really put thoughts into words. God knows how many unfinished posts I have in my archive which might never see daylight. So, this is a friendly reminder to myself to keep this private space alive.
I have long gotten past the concern of having strangers (or sometimes, friends) reading me. I can be an open book sometimes and fiercely private at other times, but being a veteran blogger (ha ha), I know how to strike the balance. After all, writing is something I love. And I have this platform to do it, and that, at this age when freedom of speech is still sorely out of reach in some parts of the world, really counts for something, ain’t it.
I don’t want to be hardened by the world. I don’t want to be cynical and overly protective. It’s one thing to be street smart and not gullible, but it’s entirely another story (and a pretty sad one) when I can’t find it in myself to have faith nor trust in anything nor anyone.
A friend told me the other day, that hope is something that we should never lose. So…. hi everyone, my name is Ling and I am a hopeful realist.
