The end is getting closer. And I am counting the days. Am I excited or worried? I’m not really sure.

In a few months, I will be turning 30 – closing my “20s”.

I haven’t been very active with this blog in the past few years.

A big part of the reason is I was becoming a different person with a different journey. I wanted to continue this blog and share more personal thoughts and stories. The thing is, I am not sure if I was ready for that. Am I ready to be more vulnerable? Or if there’s any relevance to what I may say at all.

But part of my resolution this year is to have the audacity.

To shamelessly and apologetically own my life journey whatever that may be.

At 29, I finally started fulfilling my dream of traveling internationally. But I found myself feeling shame for sharing this win. In my mind, I don’t want people to think I’m all that or I came from privilege that’s why I can do what I’m doing. I even feel undeserving at some point.

But then, when I don’t share more of my story, people will make their own answers.

So I want to put out more of this ungraceful, clumsy life of mine.

Like little love letters to my young self who felt inspired to do more, but felt like her dreams were so out of reach. That creative but anxious, intense introverted little girl.

From here, I will be opening myself more to you.

And I’m almost officially 30 – the fun is just getting started.

Welcome to my life.

A Boholana. A woman who grew up on the humble island of Bohol, Philippines. She grew up in a financially insecure environment, so she’s seeking financial freedom. She is creating a better life for herself. After all, she’s a woman of many faces & interests. A woman who’s in love with exploring not just different places but also her deepest thoughts. Trying to understand and explore what it means to live.

I hope you stick around.
