It's January 17, 2010 and I have decided to blog. Talk about being a late bloomer.
The past year has been extraordinarily, out-of-this-world (or at least out of the world that I have known until now) stressful that my mind has been full of mental chatter.
My mind has been a chatter all my life anyway. But these last few months, the chatter has surpassed anything that I have expected my own puny mind to spurn in its own lifetime, that I decided to put everything down with the idea of liberating my brain from the indescribable pressure of WORDS. The expression "I feel my brain is going to explode"? I felt that literally.
But, typical of "let's try to see the silver lining of everything" me, I decided to take the mental chatter as a form of my own personal creativity pouring out. So, in my own theory, by putting out the words of my mental chatter on a blog, I am freeing more precious brain space for more creative juice to come. At least, that's what I hope to happen.
The title "Journey to Self" has been coined through my own road to awakening that I have been through since 5 months ago. From September 8, 2009 to be exact. The day that I got separated from my husband/friend/lover/knight-in-shining-armor/father-of-my-child. The day that I felt my own world collapsing much like the twin towers that crumbled in mere seconds exactly 8 years ago.
Funny, I was on my honeymoon when the twin towers collapsed. Newly married with high hopes for the future and looking through the world through rose colored lenses...and a great tragedy struck. Could it have been a premonition of things to come in my world? For like the twin towers that collapsed into dust, I, too, crumbled into a massive heap of rubble.
But, little by little, I am reconstructing myself...brick by brick. And I would like to share each brick here with you in the hope of bringing some nuggets of insight should you also be in the same journey as I am. Or maybe, just offer companionship.
Often, you go out into a journey expecting to meet different people and visit different places. However, in a rare moment of grace, you just might meet someone unexpected - yourself.
