Great things happened recently. I have a lot to unpack.
For now, I just want to let you know that I am being transformed by what has transpired in the past weeks. I am still here, figuring this out. I know, it took me a long time before coming back here. Things have been so overwhelming, and it took me time to compartmentalize them all.
All I can say is, I thought my comeback here last May 2025 is the sign of the “rebirth”. Maybe it was, but the process isn’t done yet. Took me months to figure what I really want to do for the future, and I am here for the grit and grace throughout.
Healing and recovery will never be linear. I have been acknowledging that many times. But I didn’t know I had to go on an international trip and experience what it’s like to be outside for me to be enlightened about this.
Lesson learned? Step out of your comfort zone. As what Ty Lee said on that Ember Island episode from Avatar: The Legend of Aang (one of my all-time favorite TV series), going to a certain place can reveal people’s true nature and like the pebbles in Ember Island, we can be smoothened out.
As of late, I already have a flight booked in November to meet my dad. And I am looking forward to book more for next year.
In the meantime, I’m focusing on recalibrating my finances and everything else.
Looking forward to telling you what happened in my first international trip!
