Why I started writing?
I enjoyed writing when I was in elementary school. I remember my parents would sometimes give me a random topic to write about, and I could always come up with something that made them nod or smile as they read my piece. However, this passion didn’t continue into high school. For our generation, high school wasn’t a time to nurture hobbies or personal interests. Plus I pursued engineering as my major in university, so for decades, my writing was mostly limited to workplace emails and brief communications with friends.
Then, in October 2020, I joined Toastmasters, a club designed to help people become better speakers. I began writing again to prepare for my speeches, and discovered that I still enjoyed it! Writing is such a wonderful way to convey our thoughts and feelings; it encourages me to observe and experience the world with warm curiosity and is undoubtedly one of the best ways to preserve life’s moments.
One of the Level 4 projects in my Toastmasters pathway was to start a blog, which I saw as an opportunity to motivate myself to write more regularly.
When I started building this website, I had a hard time deciding which language I would write in. Chinese is my mother tongue, but I am getting used to expressions in English as well. In the end, I chose to keep it flexible, allowing myslef to write in whichever language that feels right for the occasion and my mood. I hope you won’t mind encournering a mixture of both English and Chinese articles here.
What you will find here
This blog is a space to share life’s small but meaningful moments that touch me or resonate with me—those fleeting yet impactful experiences that make life rich and unique. It is also a platform for me to reflect on various life topics, whether they involve personal growth, relationships, or the complexities of everyday living. Additionally, I dedicate a part of this blog to exploring the stories and characteristics of people who inspire or intrigue me. From their quirks and challenges to their triumphs and lessons, these individuals add depth and color to the tapestry of life. Through these writings, I hope to capture and express the beauty, complexity, and simplicity of the world around us.
