About

I stared at the the pile of journals in my hands. Over the years I had been given many  notebooks, journals, and diaries. Most of them were not even filled half-way, while others did not have one scratch of a pen or a pencil on it’s paper. I had always wanted to keep a steady journal, but I always drifted off after starting a new one. Maybe it was all the writing required, or all the mistakes I made in my writing that made me quit so many journals. I wanted to find a way to record my daily life, then I thought of an open journal.

This blog is a dedicated space for me to share the beauty of life and everyday musings.

“I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, and fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural . . to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.” ― Elbert Hubbard
