I honestly idea that my half-baked May 2018 post nigh Iftar, only earlier the NMC License has been implemented inwards the UAE, would hold upward my concluding until something else (beautifully) happened so this reflection canvass I've been drafting during the concluding days of the previous twelvemonth but plainly failed miserably.
I've been on in addition to off social media - peculiarly inwards September when I was expected to hold upward introduce at the most, flaunting off my Samsung Milky Way Note ix (I did on my Instagram, BTW. Too proud to hold upward an ambassador for the 2d fourth dimension around). To hold upward quite honest, alongside or without ambassadorship, I would hold upward forever thankful that I met this mobile device. It made my life in addition to so much easier alongside slow access on everything that I am saltation to produce for my media activities (extended battery life included) in addition to at the same time, it opened my senses to something else.

My concluding quarter in addition to foremost few weeks of the twelvemonth had a huge chunk of "plot twist" (as millennials telephone telephone it) inwards it. You should know it past times similar a shot (clues in addition to gossips are everywhere!) so the lack of content on my channels - because I'm beingness careful AND was asked to produce so.
Too careful that I didn't realize that I am foremost to distance myself from the globe that ane time listened to my voice, my writing, my thoughts, in addition to my opinion. Too careful that I never realized at that spot are people out at that spot who are notwithstanding interested to read some stranger's life because the things that I part are pure in addition to true. Sadly, their reply on how I run across things are truer than those of the people nearest my radius who solely play pretend that they genuinely care.
I didn't halt attention events in addition to writing because I won't hold upward able to handgrip it - the travel, long commutes, endless socializing etc. It was already inwards my organization - I was wired to produce it long earlier I left Manila or Boracay. I stopped because I was told I may lose something to a greater extent than precious; or because people genuinely made me experience that I shouldn't hold upward joining on photos because "it's non yet time". And this made it to a greater extent than depressing because they are genuinely edifice barriers some me to limit the things that I tin produce for myself in addition to P, the tiny Pebble within me. And I'm non that person.
So hither I am - non quitting blogging. In fact, yous volition run across to a greater extent than of me spending fourth dimension inwards this page, sharing our adventures in addition to mishaps together, Pebble in addition to I.
