This is the start of my B.I.G journey.
I have spent years weaving stories in my head. The simplest of interactions often inspire a flurry of images that I often do not make the time to capture in words. I started to chronicle some of my experiences in forms of short essays or poetry, and I realized that there is great power in the art of words. It is not just a momentary escape, but has been a path of healing, understanding and internalizing all the ways I can make my life more beautiful from within.
I started writing about snippets of personal experiences, which grew into amassing stories of those around me and funneling it through a simple play of words in my poetry. As kindred souls congregated around my writings and asked for more, I realized that I derived greater joy in my desire to give back to the universe than to sit back, full of expectations of what I could get from it. It has allowed me to be kinder to myself and to those around me, somehow dissipating years of longing and resentment against all the things I accused life of denying me.
In the hopes of using this blog as a way to share my life lessons and my rambling thoughts, I bring to you my journey of how I feel best in giving.
"Enjoy the light, my love,
For it may be gone tomorrow.
What we have is this moment,
The only reality that matters."
