It's not too late to start again, is it?

For a long time, I've trapped myself in a cage with an open door. I thought that the cage felt comfortable so I decided not to get out from it. I told myself that it wasn't that bad. That changes today.

I'm writing again. 

It's not too late to start again, is it?



The author of this blog is plain and simple. She thinks mostly of the usual things - life, love, beauty. She enjoys the basic necessities like food, warmth, blankets, and music. She gets thrilled with the idea of an adventure but doesn't really like to go on one, unless her spontaneity kicks in. She's got a fire in her belly most days, but enjoys the leisure of being in bed at the same time. Odd. Weird. Plain. Simple. Mary Jedde. An old soul, a lifelong learner, and a flourishing human being.

It's Definitely A Big Deal!

There are just days that have no magic in them. Sometimes, we do not have the energy to be our best and that is perfectly normal. With a toned-down zest for life, messy hair on the loose, and our face having no traces of society's standard for beauty, we are all set to nestle on the bed and put down our armors after a long day of battle. Every day, we work so hard to give our best in every aspect of our lives even when sometimes it doesn't make us happy. We do so because we have a greater goal - perhaps providing for our family, traveling to a new place or saving up for the future. We put in a strong effort in achieving our dreams one day at a time too, despite all the criticisms and rejections we receive along the way because we do not want to disappoint the people who believe in us, and sometimes the people who rely on us. We hustle for our loved ones - their happiness is our happiness and we want to give them the best by sharing what we have. That is why, when we ...

A friend asked me a question the other day: "Jedde, you're well-focused on your work. How do you still find the time to read?". Many of us desire to pick up the habit of reading. When we were younger, I fondly recall a memory of me and my sister choosing to stay at a book shop inside the mall. While our mom does the grocery shopping, she and I would be deeply engrossed in books that kindled our interest. We would be thoroughly immersed in what we were reading, which were mostly books on display meant for preview, and somehow time passed by so quickly. The moment our mom came to pick us up, we would already have read a handful of literature! What a delightful memory to reminisce. Reading then was fun. We weren't forced to memorize anything nor take down notes in order to prepare for an examination. Instead, we read because we liked and enjoyed it; not to mention my love for books that added to the beautiful concoction - their nostalgic and sweet scent, t...

Away from the Nest

"It's okay to be scared. Being scared means you're about to do something really, really brave." Fear: A Foe or a Friend  Once you reach a point in time when you find yourself clutching your chest as if trying to steady your heart and you are faced with a decision that you know will forever change your life, then take a deep breath and reach for it.  Uncertainty is scary. Not knowing where you are or what's going to happen next sure is dreadful. But you know what's worse? It's not being able to move. See, fear is a paralysing thing. It magnifies worries, self-doubts and insecurities. It overshadows the light, the goal, and what could be. But being scared is alright and being scared is important. It's a reminder that you are alive. It's a sign that there's an impending change. Being scared is a signal for you to take action because you are on to something great. The moment you decide to let go, just break free and let lo...
