Echoes of an Advocate #3

Dump To be honest, I didn't plan some sort of 'rant' episode to be what I publish now but here we are. I shared part of a rant with a few people about 2 days ago and decided to extend it and share it here.  To me, a 'rant' is a means of releasing energy - usually anger, rage, or annoyance. But this one wasn't exactly that. It can still be classified as a rant but I was just putting down my thoughts because they became jumbled up in my head and I needed to see them down in order to make sense of it. Obviously, this is under the 'Echoes of an Advocate' theme because I'm talking about things very specific to me and my life, rather than things you can learn from per se. I actually wrote the 'rant' my notes on my phone randomly and shared it with people afterward. I titled it 'dump' because I was essentially dumping. I hadn't planned to write down my thoughts or to share it either. I just wanted somewhere to place it down before choosi...

New Year, New Me...?

New Year, New Me...? That's something we all hear whenever a new year comes around but it's not something I believe in. I don't think it's possible for someone to be a completely new person every year. I'm not the only one who doesn't like that phrase because a lot of people prefer to say, 'new year, new and improved me'. That phrase is a little better but personally, I'll go with new year, same me but upgraded :) I just realized I jumped right into it without an introduction, so here we go. **************************************************************************************************** Hello, hi how are you doing? How's life? (reply in the comments down below) Happy new year and decade! I hope your 2020 has been amazing so far! It's me teenagehood misfits, alive once again. Since I'm alive again after a long while, a new life update is long overdue with a mix of some new years resolutions (NYR). Firstly,...

Me, People & Friends

*DISCLAIMER* Before I begin, I usually adopt a tone in which I'm advising you (the readers) because it's easier for me and helps me get my tenses, pronouns and point of views correctly. You are, of course, under no obligation to follow anything I say because everyone goes through different things. All of the "advice" I'll be giving is based on the knowledge of my experiences, so you all should take with a pinch of salt.  My views will probably change as I get older and experience things differently. A lot of us tend to put too much weight and importance on things that are somewhat mediocre to other people such as friendships. Not everyone shares the same values or ideas on friendships like others do hence we tend to overthink certain things that happen.  Let me explain with a bit of context.  I used to do this but I eventually learnt and stopped doing it. That is, thinking people value me as much as I value them. For example, I used to be rea...

Echoes of an advocate #1

Hello guys and welcome back! Yup it's me haha.. I'm alive again. Well it's summer now and exams are done so I've got no excuse not to post every week!  Having thought long and hard about this, I've decide to start a segment separated from my normal blog. It won't be anything long but it's my way of trying to keep a journal. I'm really bad at keeping journals so at the end of everyday, or during the day, I'll write down the things i thought about. I know that I'll be exposing myself but as an aspiring writer, it's something I need to learn sooner than later. So I'll post them whenever I'm not finished with a blogpost for an upcoming week. If you love reading about other people's lives and are interested in what they think about daily, then stay tuned :) Or if you just wanna read something very random and definitely very long then stay tuned :) I'm sure you all know about friendships because they are a fundame...
