It has been more than a year since I have last posted and I have missed writing, a lot. My interest in writing has not died down; in fact, there are just so many thoughts going through my head every single day and I do really enjoy sharing my life experiences with interested readers.
My previous posts have mostly been about my travelling experiences. I think my hiatus began in 2019 (before I started my university) when I missed out on one road trip post. To me, that was a big thing and I told myself that I have to finish that up before sharing about other things. Unfortunately, I was not able to get it done on time, and then I went on another trip, and the problem cycle repeats and I just lost it. Also, I realised that, as much as I would love to share about my travelling experiences, I kind of did not fully enjoy the process of writing, and sometimes it became like a chore as I would have already posted loads of stories on my Instagram account (if you are interested to check it out: @edgewhy). So it became sort of redundant for me to share the similar fun facts here on my blog again (which is partly why I was behind on posts).
Anyways, I have decided to change up the content which I would bring forward here on my blog this time around. I would like to share more about my life perspectives, book reviews (my thoughts on the book and how they have impacted me), self-reflection and my adulting experiences (life as a student studying abroad). I just hope that I could reach out to more readers out there, going through the phase as I am currently at, where we are discovering ourselves, trying to figure out how to present ourselves, and most importantly, deciding what kind of a person we would like to be.
Before I end, I would also like to touch on my new found interest - creating videos! Lifestyle, aesthetically pleasing vlogs on Youtube has been my favourite videos to watch since I was in high school. However, I have never thought of creating those videos myself as I did not know how to edit, and did not have the patience to learn how to do so. Also, the thought of filming in public daunts me. However, I went on a trip with my best friend to Switzerland during winter in 2019, and she successfully produced a video which documented our trip as a whole. I was completely impressed, and she made me feel like I was capable of doing that too (that, editing, is not as tough or boring as it seems to be). Later on, I began to seek opinions and advice from my friends and brother on my interest in vlogging. They were surprisingly, super supportive. Before committing into this and deciding to get the relevant equipments, my friend suggested that I should start filming on my phone and posting short clips on an Instagram account first. I have successfully uploaded 2 short clips on another Instagram account of mine, as a creative space for me to share out videos I have created: @ghysees
These are the few updates on my life as a student now in 2020, and I can't wait to share more in the near future!
