I know nothing with certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. – Vincent Van Gogh
I started this blog simply because I wanted to try something new. You see, I’m a recent university science graduate who has spent the last few years studying, working, or studying some more. After graduating, I felt lost. I spent so much of my life following this methodical manner of going through school, and getting a job that when I approached this period of my life where I didn’t have a set plan ready to act on, I felt afraid. I spent weeks applying for various things, half of which I wasn’t even interested in, and numerous sleepless nights wondering what the hell I was doing with my life. I was in a state that I felt powerless to escape from. A place of which I call “limbo”; a state of in between and uncertainty.
After spending enough time feeling sorry for myself, and engaging in conversations with some inspiring people, I decided it was time to stop looking at this state of limbo as a curse or a dark place, and begin viewing it as a new opportunity. Somewhere I could discover myself, and explore the different facets of who I am, and who I want to be. And so I promised myself that this year would be my year, a year that I would try new things, and fill that void within me. I made this blog to both try something new, and to have a place to document this new journey of mine. There will always be uncertainty in life, but it’s when we see the beauty in it that we allow a sense curiosity, openness, and willingness to learn and grow into our lives. Welcome to my journey, welcome to My Beautiful Limbo.
