It was five years ago when I created this page. 

    Five years of my life have passed by, and this space has been a silent witness to all those seasons. This space became a home to all my messy notes, my edits, my readings -- basically everything I wanted to create and keep. The contents here were born out of my love for the art, boredom, or a kick of inspiration from the films I watched, the display of nature's beauty, and all the seemingly insignificant details of my daily life, and they have all been freeing. I thank the Lord for this cathartic privilege I get to exercise at my own pace. 

    When I first created this page, I just needed an outlet for the thoughts in my head, like an extended journal that I hope would resonate with whoever gets to read it. But now it has been that and more. I also get to share my love for photography and editing, the lessons that the Lord has been teaching me, and the best thing is that they serve as memory keepers for my future 50-year-old, probably still a sentimental self (Lord-willing, I get to reach that age).

There are days I would binge-watch and review my earlier posts and be amazed at how I get to have a glimpse of my life back and the perspective I had through my writings. I used to be so insecure about my opinions, my ideas, and writing itself, and so I kept them all in my journals and a private blog. But eventually, I prayed to overcome that fear of man and allowed the Lord to use these gifts for service. And so here we are, writing and creating imperfect yet hopefully purposeful art. 

It is only my hope that for the years to come, and as the Lord deepens my affections for Him, may it be reflected in this space more, and may I become a better communicator of His grace through creating. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
