HOPE & HUMILITY
-
The beautiful thing about youth is the excitement of looking forward to what’s next. There’s this openness to discover new things and explore what can be. With youth, the possibilities seem endless and it’s always accompanied by the hope that something better is just around the corner.

On the other hand, maturity delivers its own beauty. With experience you learn to be accepting of what was, grateful for what is, and pragmatic for what will be. There’s a humility that comes with age that acknowledges that there are things that are simply outside one’s control and that is completely okay.

At 26, I’m privileged to be at the eclipse of these states of life. I’m young enough to hope endlessly, but old enough to be reasonable with my expectations. I’m still excited for the future, but I’m also learning to not fixate on it–– to savor every moment I have at the present because tomorrow isn’t assured. It’s a strange feeling, but the conjunction brings me to a plane of introspection that I haven’t had in a while. There are a million thoughts running in my head every day, but instead of being the muddy cloud of ideas they’ve been in the last two years of the pandemic, they’re clear. It honestly feels kinda weird.

Having said that, inspired by my friend , I have decided to start to express and share maybe some of the insights that I’ve been ruminating on these past years; as well as whatever insights brew for me in the future. I don’t really know what I want to achieve with this account, but it would be nice to have an outlet for these introspective thoughts.

Anyway, I’m excited about wherever this project will go and I’d be very grateful if you were with me for the journey.
