I was standing on the bathroom line at Bangkok’s airport a few nights ago and jotted down this quick note: “social trends come and go but our thoughts are not temporary”. Yes, I had the chance to quickly visit Bangkok for the first time recently, and really fell in love with the people of Thailand from what I’ve seen and felt so far. It’s a place that I can’t wait to visit again just because it was one of those places where being there felt like receiving a big hug.
Pretty sure that with the lack of blog posts in the past year, you probably already know that I’ve taken quite a step back from sharing a lot of my deeper thoughts online. These days, as a content creator, every time I hop on an application I’m faced with a dilemma of posting for the sake of posting or curating it so that it actually reaches the people that I hope that it reaches, people who opted in to hear me. And I guess in a way, this is my fault, and it’s something that I don’t think most creators will admit, but I just haven’t been able to stay consistent. There isn’t one specific source to blame for this, but mainly, I will personally own up to the fact that my thoughts just haven’t been swayed much to keep up with how quickly social media trends turnover. And I just hate the idea of social trends making me leave permanent temporary thoughts to be traceable in this (my own) digital space.
All in all, I guess this is also my big excuse for this pretty plain outfit that I’ve been repeating all summer long in Tokyo. Beach-coverups is probably my biggest tip for wanting to layer in Japan’s summer heat, even if you’re in the city.
It’s been over 10 years since I’ve kept this blog going, and as I look back on some older posts, I realize how permanent some of the things I’ve thought to be are and how some of those thoughts have manifested in certain aspects of my life too. Of course, it’s not wrong to be on the lookout for the next new thing, but with these thoughts, I just want to let you know that I’ll be here, drifting slowly, the way that I’ve been since you chanced upon me.
If you’re reading this, I hope you’ve been well. Hopefully, I’ll have some more realtime thoughts to share with you next time.
