Looking back, 2017 was quite an eventful year for me and my whole family. It started with the departure of a loved one. We were all mellowed out and unsure of how to go about the days to come. At times, I even found myself crying as my heart felt hollow and our house more quieter than it used to be. Though it was painful, we were able to find solace in each other and learned how to deal with our loss. Yet, celebrations were still subdue. I'm not sure if we felt that it was wrong to be too happy or engrossed. Or maybe we just got old.
During the first quarter of 2017, I planned on what to write and to regularly update my blog. I was able to deliver the first few weeks since I kinda had all the time in the world. I was invited to participate in contests, guest-blog and stuff. One write-up even took second place! Sweet! I was a bit overwhelmed but I was ecstatic. I didn't really think there were those who actually read and enjoy my ramblings.
I made an instagram account as well. I did say I wasn't going to but I couldn't remember why I was so against having one so ergo, the addition to my social media account. I was totally freaked out with the things and expressions that were becoming mainstream. I wasn't entirely living under a rock but it felt that way. My, my, I was getting behind with the time!
