Chapter 70: A letter to my future self


Dear Alena,

Hope you're doing well. This is your past self writing to you, with so many things I’ve wanted to ask and say. I really hope you've found success and are working in a job you genuinely enjoy.  I'm pretty sure you've made it there because I know how hard you’ve always worked, how dedicated you’ve been to make everyone proud especially Mom and Dad. Keep that strength going; they’re rooting for you, always.


I also hope you’ve settled into a life that feels right, a good home, and maybe even a family of your own. Are you happy? Are you content? Those are the things I care about most.


How is everyone at home? Are you still in touch with friends from school and college? What path did you take for your master’s degree? And, just out of curiosity, what’s your career like now? (I know—too many questions, but can you blame me?)


If life hasn’t gone as planned, that’s okay. I hope you’re still proud of yourself, no matter where you are or how far you’ve come. Remember, you don’t have to have it all figured out. Just stay true to yourself, keep pushing forward, and know that your past self believes in you.


Take care, and keep that spark alive. I know you’ll make the best of every moment. I love you Alena! <3

Chapter 1: Embracing Self Awareness

Let me begin my first blog with a quote, " Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom"- Aristotle I am Alena, I am a normal girl with ordinary talents. If that is the way I introduce myself, what makes me different and what makes me unique?  Most of the people including myself, become insecure and shy away from challenges life has in store because of not being self-aware of their potential. Self awareness plays a major role in personal growth and well being of a person. We need to understand and keep track of our strengths and weaknesses. Our strength could end up turning into our weakness and our weakness could end up being our strength later. An example from my life: In school, I had a hard time making friends which I considered as a flaw, In college I don't find that as an issue which ends up being my strength. I remember starting a personal diary to jot down my emotions and instead of writing what I truly felt, I wrote as if somebody would read it. That is not th...

Book review - Red Verses.

This is a personal book review of Red Verses by Pearlina Gracelyn. Pearlina is my best friend, but did I truly know how deep her thoughts ran? No. While reading this book, it felt as if I was not just turning the pages but unveiling the chapters of her life. It’s raw, real, and straight from her heart, something you can feel with every word. The words are beautifully yet simply crafted, resonating deeply with the reader. This is not just a collection of poems but an outpouring of emotions printed onto paper. I could sense how much courage and vulnerability it must have taken for her to write these pieces, and that makes the book even more profound. I don’t know if it was mere coincidence, but I truly loved how the poem "My Wedding Day" ended with the verse "As husband and wife." That single line, placed on a separate page, made it so much more impactful. The simplicity of dedicating one page to such a significant line brought out the true essence of the poem’s subje...
