I am grateful for IT because IT led me here, right now, to you

So, here I am. Trying again. Focusing a lot less on being perfect and a lot more on creating purpose. Yes, the fact that I’m typing this conversation-style post full of grammatical errors is causing the pastime English major in me to cringe, but it’s fine (for now). Someone once told me that a “finished something” is sometimes better than a “perfect nothing”.

I wished I could connect to a community of other people who’d gone through the system and the kinds of trauma that send you there in the first place

The sense of comfort and connection I felt when I heard this foster care alumna tell me that things would be ok, that I’d get to a place where I felt whole and excited about life, that she’d made it and I would, too–it was unspeakable. It was such a relief and such a lucky coincidence. The feeling of someone else getting it when I stumbled upon the aforementioned former foster youth’s blog was a gift.

I would love to share my experiences as someone who is a global nomad and connect to those who share similar experiences

I want to talk about what it is like to live in the USA as a Malaysian. How it is like to be close friends from people from China, Mexico, Cameroon, Thailand and many other countries. I hope to connect with many of you who resonate with my blog and I would love to hear your experiences living in many different countries and connecting with different cultures!

When we were taught about letters, letter writing and post offices in school,  we had to write a letter to ourselves and post them. After we had tracked back our letters, we had to write an essay recording the process. I couldn’t wait to get my letter back! I ran back and waited till 4.20 pm when the post man would come by to collect the letters from the post box near home.  I even remember asking him, when I’d get my letter! Finally, when I got back my letter and saw the stamping on it- I was thrilled. It had actually been to some place else and had came back to me!
