Delight in Sharing
All those assignments and group projects are crowding my Chrome tabs, Windows taskbar, waiting to be completed. Yup, they still are.
Busy as I am, and as some of you are, we sometimes forget the delight in sharing. We wake up, go to work, go home, sleep, and repeat the process. We sometimes have no time for delightful conversation with our families, roommates, or spouses.
Why wouldn’t we share some of our happiest moments, or saddest moments? Perhaps, we are too afraid of being judged. Fair enough. What about the upsides, though? Sharing could relieve pain; it could also amplify your joy. The key here is to share genuinely, and well, rather importantly, to share what you feel is apt to share. After all, some things are best to be left alone. Or are they? A topic for another day, perhaps.
With this in mind, I am ready to embark on a new journey, a journey of sharing. I hope that my blog would be a way for you and I to learn new perspectives of life. Let’s find delight in sharing together!
