Creating this blog has always been a grand idea to me. I've always felt passionate about writing my thoughts and have long desired to get them out there, in print, on screen or any kind of form. However, just like my many past endeavors, I lack courage to see it through and determination to follow through all my plans. The fear of failure and ridicule are constant and unwelcome companions of my thoughts to the point that they have taken my dreams hostage.
Now, I feel as though I have somehow found enough courage and mustered just the right amount of determination to take the first step, create this page and publish my thoughts, one painful detail at a time. Like many others, I struggle with procrastination. This time things are different. I no longer feel the comfort of my safety net. I lost my mum to cervical cancer almost 3 years ago. Losing her forced me to take full responsibility of my life since I could no longer count on her to clean up my mess. I didn't feel much pressure then to think and plan about my future because I knew she would always be around. Now, she's gone.
The imperative to leave a legacy or an imprint on this planet - a positive one I hope, has grown exponentially since my mum's passing. Cliche yet utterly true: time passes by so quickly. With firm resolve, I am taking this opportunity to write my thoughts and fervently pray that it reaches the eyes of someone who, like me, was forced to the silence and darkness of my own thoughts.
What then does this blog mean to me, and potentially you?
It will take us on a journey into the life of a self-proclaimed queen and show you the desires that have beholden him since the day he wore the crown. Perhaps you and I have similar experiences and desires, so let's talk about them. We might end up answering our own questions or come up with more questions to confuse us. Whichever way this road we are taking will lead us, I am absolutely positive that we will come out a different person - for the better I suppose.
