I've been blogging for a couple years now but it's always been on a personal front -- digital footprints of my life for all to see and a trail to follow lest I got lost.
I spent most of my high school and uni years in a turbulent relationship, full of drama, passsion, intensity, tears and heartbreak. 3 years of high school became a 4 year long-distance relationship. And when that ended, it didn't -- not properly but I jumped into a relationship only months after with my current partner and while there was pain -- self inflicted and otherwise, doubt and buckets of tears, there are no regrets.
That was three years ago.
Fresh out of uni, I traded my writing and a potential career in journalism for love and a life on familiar grounds with a person I'd met only a few months prior. It was a new experience and since I'd never had stability or been in a domestic relationship, it was a choice I willingly made.
Three years on, I'm older, a little less gutsy but a lot more thoughtful, less arrogant, more confident and more emotionally stable, I'm ready to reclaim my life.
'Coloumn-ise' is a new project that stemmed from this renewed strength. It is the column that I dreamed of having and still aim to have. While I'll continue to maintain my old blog for personal rambling, I'm settling on new ground, discovering new boundaries and colonising this space for my column.
The title of this blog 'Sheets of Falling Paper' symbolises all the tears that went into the 2-ply and all the unfinished work that I've pushed aside these past years. I always chose love and never really learnt to live for me but I'm starting now -- without fear and with the utmost support from the people around me.
So I hope you'll read on, speak your mind and join me on this interactive journey.
