Dear Us,
It’s been five whole years! I know, it took me far too long to return to this space, and I’ve missed it deeply. I’ve missed sharing my thoughts, reflecting on life, and connecting through words. A lot has changed since my last post, and I’m excited to finally share those updates with you.
I’m not sure if anyone’s still following this blog, but if you’ve somehow found your way here—welcome back. This is my little corner of the internet, and I’m leaving this as part of my digital footprint for whoever happens to read it.
First, an apology. I’ve neglected this blog for far too long. But lately, I’ve been craving a space to talk—or rather, to write freely. Maybe that’s why I’m here again, reaching out to whoever’s listening (or reading).
Life hasn’t been easy. My last entry was in 2020, just before the pandemic hit. Those years were incredibly tough, some of the hardest many of us have ever experienced. COVID-19 taught us so much: that being stuck at home can test your sanity, that being with your family 24/7 can either strengthen your bond or reopen old wounds, that health truly is wealth, and that death can be painfully lonely. During those times, nurses and doctors became the only ones holding hands when loved ones couldn’t.
A year after the pandemic, I moved to the UK. I don’t regret that decision at all. I’ve been enjoying the experience, learning, growing, and finding my place here. Three years later, I married my long-time partner. We’re still navigating married life, though it’s not the traditional setup. We’re in a long-distance marriage, balancing time zones and miles apart. Despite the challenges, we choose each other every single day.
So, why the distance? Because of our careers. We’re both committed to our professional growth, and for now, that means living apart. It’s not as simple as “love will keep us alive.” Adulthood brings responsibilities—bills, mortgages, savings, and the pursuit of financial stability. But we both know this distance is temporary. One day, we’ll be together—financially secure, able to travel, eat, and enjoy life side by side.
Of course, there are lonely days (for both of us). But I hold onto the belief that the best is yet to come.
Anyway, that’s enough about my happy-sad—but mostly happy—love story.
I hope you’re still there, my glam friend. I’m bringing this blog back to life, back to square one, but with renewed energy and purpose. I’ll be sharing more about my life here in the UK, my thoughts, and the little things that make up my everyday story.
So, here’s to reconnecting and tying the knot again with this blog. ❤❤
