Where'd all the time go Hi! It's me @mstripsy it's been 2 years, I guess, since the last time I've visited this site. Just lying here in my bed, tired, after a long day at work. Yes, you read it right, I'm no longer the college student who randomly rants and shares about her thoughts and how her day went by, the one who spills her frustrations and aspirations in life by writing it all here, her so-called 'safe space', this site, introduced by her favorite cousin.

Going back to this precious site after how many years gave me comfort and brought me surge of different emotions, I never knew still existed within. This site brought back lots of memories, from each words inked and sentence stated. Oh, just how time flies, being able to get back here, having read all my years of posted articles, just humbled me even more in a different level. Looking back, it is indeed true that *"Malayo pa, pero malayo na din".* It seems like it was just yesterday when I was just a college student, lost, uncertain of what the future holds, always having the fear of failure if she'll be able to make it and graduate or not, thoughts of just to stop for a bit in school because of financial constraints and emotional instability, always saying badly wanted to give up. But, hey! Look at us now!😭 You made it, you did it, the field's still vast, far, and wide but, hey, we were able to took a step. Just last year, I've finally graduted in college at the age of 24, yes, 24 a year delayed from my batchmates in high school, and it's perfectly fine as it is. Last year was a roller coaster ride, a year of twists and tears for me , but above all, my life greatest breakthrough and tough decisions. Upon graduating, I went at my father's province spent 2-month of vacation then got hired for my first job. Anyways, that's it for today. I can't wait to share with you my thorough details of my journey and life adventures! Thank you so much once again my fellow readers and writers! I am looking forward for many and more interactions with you all, cause I am also thrilled and excited to hear from you! Lots of love! God bless you all!
