in the beginning

dear friends,

i'm not sure why i set up this blog, except perhaps, i'm curious to see how this alternate form of communication will turn out and how long it'll last, if it even begins.

for me, this community of friends have become somewhat like a family to me. friends i have not expected to meet or to make, bonds which i have not foreseen will cement in any way. but who knows how these friendships will turn out in a year's time? perhaps it's the novelty of new relationships that brought us together... or perhaps it's a recognition that we share a vision of a better world that gels us.

sometimes, i feel it's futile what i do... collecting memories, cherishing certain moments... where will all these go when we close our eyes for the last time?

but most times, it just cannot get any better. i feel like i've found the journey of my life. the one that had been missing in my younger years, the missing part of me that i searched for without being able to identify what it is or understanding the true nature of what i wanted. to a large extent, i have found my place. and i know that because of the peace that lingers with me even in my weakest moments. and i know that because of the joy i feel. a joy that is completely PURE.

so a new journey has begun... i wonder what lies ahead. i have fears for this journey, doubts that have never crossed my mind before... but against all these, i look forward to growing with each and every one of you. sharing intimate stories and creating new ones.

not to mention, our unique style of 'FELLOWSHIPS', of course.

 

love you all,
Joyce
