Hello, World!

                                                

I have decided to start a blog.

Why, you might ask?

Since I was a kid, I used to write in a diary but never managed to do so consistently. Whenever I started to write about how I felt or my thoughts, I eventually stopped after a few days. I never knew why, but now as I reflect on it more, I realize that I wrote in a diary because I just wanted to cope with the sad, negative feelings inside me. It was the only time I felt the need to write. Have you ever felt the need to write to cope with emotions? How did it help you?

Still, whenever I'm alone, on my way somewhere, or at home, I have so many things fizzing inside my head that I want to express. But it’s not about sadness or negativity. Over time, I realized that I am stronger than I was yesterday and the happiest version of myself. Sometimes I still get hurt or moody, but with time, I can overcome it. What’s that old saying? “Time heals everything.” Yeah! It’s true, I believe.

Recently, I read a book called Girl Online by Zoe Sugg, and I have to say that it got me really inspired to share my thoughts, feelings, fears, challenges, and moments of my life. I never had the confidence to speak openly about myself to the world, but that wasn't truly me. Wherever I go, whenever I meet someone, I have always been open to them, even if they are strangers to me. I couldn't hide anything from anyone. I've always had that kind of personality, and it has often led me to make friends, though I know that not everyone can be a true friend. But I never regret it.

I want to feel like someone, somewhere, will be able to read what I’ve got to say.

So, for my first blog post, I just wanted to share the reason why I wanted to start this blog and to introduce myself.

Since I’ve already shared the reason for starting this blog, I’d like to introduce myself now. I’m just a regular girl from Sri Lanka, currently living in the UAE with my wonderful husband. I work as a reservation agent in the International Sales Department of a leading company related to the sports industry, and I truly love what I do. I strive to provide the best customer service as the kindest and most helpful person on the planet. I feel so happy whenever I see that someone is smiling because of the little help I could give them. I’m so blessed to have my husband here with me because he is my most unconditional support and is always there for me.

When it comes to my family, I have very few people in my family circle since I don’t get along with all my relatives. It's not because I don’t like them or that I am a bad person, but because I have my own opinion about them. I always felt that they weren’t there for me when I was hurt or struggling, but whenever I achieved something, they would gossip about me. I know that many relatives can be like that. So in my family, I have my mom, dad, and two younger sisters. Yeah! I’m the oldest in my family. In my husband’s family, he has his mom, dad, and a sister. This is our family, and we both love them very much and will always be there for them, no matter what happens.

As a kid, I didn’t have many beautiful memories with my parents since they used to fight most of the time, and they didn’t give us much attention. But I think I became more responsible for myself, and with those experiences, I tried to become more independent. I have been living in the school hostel too. And I think as the big sister in the family, I always felt a responsibility towards my sisters. I remember sometimes my youngest sister says that I’m her second mother, and I feel really proud of myself. I know that those words, the feeling of happiness, cannot be bought with money.

So, I hope if you’re reading my blog, you might have an idea about me. However, there might be darkness in what I have shared in this blog so far, but I'm excited to embark on this journey with you all and look forward to sharing more positive and uplifting moments. I will have lots of topics to talk about with the world.
