C’est Moi

     I’m someone who isn’t very keen on writing about myself.  I could pen out my thoughts on almost any topic, except for the topic that I, supposedly, know most about.  I guess it’s partly because my thoughts are so preoccupied with the people that I care most about that I have become so used to looking towards others rather than towards myself.  It may be good or bad, depending on the circumstances.  But earlier, when I decided to register for a new photo blog, which I called Romance in Retrospect, I was presented with the opportunity to take a look into a one-way mirror and write about the topic that I, more often than not, steer clear of: me…

     I love reading, almost as much as shopping. I like doing a lot of travelling, but ironically, I prefer spending most of my time at home with my family; either that, or going out with James, my boyfriend.

     I am continually trying to improve my cooking skills. I love dogs. I enjoy teaching. I’d like to be able to go back to Japan to teach, if given the opportunity. I’m not much of a risk-taker upfront, but I’m willing to make a lot of sacrifices for a cause or a person when I believe that it’s worth it.

     I believe in fairytales, dreams-come-true, and miracles. I’m a daydreamer and a true romantic. I cry easily and I have no pretensions of being a tough girl. The only thing that’s strong about me is my faith.

     I am a dreamer who is in touch with reality; a gamer who takes important things seriously. I love deeply and get hurt easily in the process, but that doesn’t stop me from giving all that I can.

     I am happy. I am in love. I may not be at the pinnacle of my dreams yet, but I have faith that I’ll get there.

     Surprisingly, that wasn’t so hard once I just let my thoughts flow.  And going through it again, I’m really happy because it pretty much condensed everything about me at this point in my life.  Happy… in love… and keeping my dreams intact no matter what.
