Hello, sunshine! Welcome to my blog, where we aim to spread positivity and happiness everywhere. My name is Honey and I write about food, books, entertainment, updates on gadget, current events, sports, and anything chill in this busy world.
Living in this century where everything is all about hustling and bustling, I chose to focus on the things that bring me happiness rather than those that drain all will and motivation in my body. But, do not get me wrong. I am not one of those people branded as “happy-go-lucky” because I also think about how I can incorporate find happiness in doing practical things to shape up my future.
I was raised in a household where time is given too much value. All things, big or small, should be done on or before time. We did not know procrastination and we are not allowed to know it. Procrastination is considered a stranger in our home that we are not permitted to associate ourselves with. Being in a constant rush and always feeling the pressure of having to complete every assignment all at once ignited an emotion inside me that I’ve never met before. It is like being in love for the first time, when you feel butterflies in your stomach seeing the one you love. But there were no butterflies to me, only disappointments and punches in my gut, especially when I fail to meet the demands of each task. The rush made me robotic and a time-ticking bomb, anytime and anywhere I can explode.
It was a continuous battle of my eagerness to slower my pace and the urge to go faster and beat deadlines. What became my lifeline during these unbearable times was writing. I began to write my hatred on the way I was raised and the home that I grew up. All the what ifs and what could have beens that have bugged my mind for so long were put into words. And with that, I have found both a safe haven and a silver lining. I found freedom and ease. My world started to revolve around writing about the things that interests me, like food, gadgets, literature, and more. I can still remember my first written piece. It is called “In Food, I Trust.” Then a lot followed, most of them are about food and the rest are about my other interests.
Discovering my love and skill in writing made me look at the brighter side of life. I have learned to embrace all the good and ugly things life throws at me. Before, I hated everything associated with schedules and deadlines. But now that I have already met the all disappointment and negativity, I started seeing positivity in failure and pain. As of the moment, my mantra is “trust the process.” And I plan to continue living by those words no matter how strong the flow and current of life and time.
According to Walt Disney, “I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.” That said, whatever good or bad experiences that I went through, and will go through, those are part of the complexity of life. There is no ratio nor statistics that shows how much beautiful or ugly things that happen to one’s life. All that is present is the will to face, conquer, find happiness, and live in the moment in our lowest of lows and highest of highs.
