Findings

The beauty of finding yourself is something I will never be able to describe without tearing up a bit.

Writing about myself is perhaps one of the biggest challenges I could ever face. Not because I wouldn't know where to begin but perhaps because I know whatever I write is eventually gonna be read by someone or even by me.

But even if I'm the only one who gets to read what I wrote ten years ago, it's still scary because I am not who I was ten years ago. You may call it "fear to be judged"- and maybe you're right. But I'd rather not label it (just yet) and showed what I found just now:

I saw this posted somewhere and couldn't help to want to do it myself!
1) Where have you traveled most recently?
Just came to Montgomery, AL (I live in Santa Monica, CA)

2) What city/ country have you always wanted to go? Is there a place that draws you?
I would love to go to Seattle because I heard it rains a lot there and I love rain so much- it inspires me to write.

3) Which place(s) have you found particularly magical or beautiful?
San Francisco. Its architecture is so beautiful you can't help but to feel lucky to be alive to see it.

4) If you could travel anywhere this holiday season, where would you go? and...5) Who would you bring with you?
London and my mom. She's always wanted to go there and I think it would be a good mom and daughter quality time.

It seems like I wrote this on December 15th, 2008. And I can tell you as much as this, maybe I haven't changed that much. I still think my answers would have been the same except for the first one, because my last trip was to San Francisco (or Cotati, CA).

But it is different when you have a thought than when you find this thought that you actually took the time to write down. In a way, it helps me get to know myself better.
