Often, choosing what to post on my blog feels daunting. Although this site is a platform for sharing thoughts, it’s also a form of social media, making it important to consider what I put out there. I’ve come across writings that exude rawness and honesty, and I wish I could emulate that.

I wish I could share more heavy stuff instead of just happy book reviews. Don’t get me wrong—I love reading and I enjoy sharing inspiring essays and posts. But there are many days when I want to show a little darkness because sometimes that’s all I see. There are days when there’s just no sunshine and cupcakes.

May passed by in a blur—it felt both long and brief at the same time. I spent more time with myself because it’s easier and less painful.

In May, I visited two different libraries. One was familiar from my high school days, a sanctuary filled with the scent of old books. The other was a bit farther away, a place with its own charm. Both visits brought comfort and nostalgia, a peaceful feeling I can’t quite explain.

I remember a conversation with someone I believe is doing well in his career. He was achieving feats that I congratulated him on, but he didn’t believe he was doing great. There was something yet to materialize for him, and until it did, he felt incomplete. This made me realize how a lot more others are no different.

Most of us are searching for something, and often in the absence of it, it can make other accomplishments feel void. Each individual decides what is a top priority for them, influenced by their values. May we all find that one thing that will tie everything together. This message is for me as well.

We are all on a journey, navigating through moments of light and darkness, hoping to find that elusive piece that completes our puzzle. What are you searching for?
