I know I can be superficial at times. Shoes, clothes, bags and accessories can easily make me happy, and there have been times when a spontaneous shopping trip has cheered me up a great deal. But even I know and acknowledge that there are so many things more precious than even the most expensive pair of shoes in the world. These are things that cannot be bought --- things like [true] friendship, or love, or loyalty. I don't choose friends based on their outfits and I don't choose to be a loyal friend to someone on account of what I can get from being his or her 'friend'.

Perks and gifts are great, but if I [as a blogger] will be stripped of them, it wouldn't make me feel so bad. I started blogging not because of any of these but because I wanted to find a venue where I could express myself, especially since my previous job was so removed from my creative side. Now that I have a job where I can express this creative side more freely, I will still maintain this blog because I do not treat writing here as a chore. It's not easy to be honest about one's weaknesses, but yes, I admit there have been instances when I got too hard on myself, and yes there have been times when so-called 'fame' got to my head, but now when I feel the signs creeping again I make it a point to immediately snap myself back to the fact that I am merely a speck in this wonderful web of woven digital records of every blog-keeping person's lives.

At the end of the day, I am just a simple girl who likes oversharing pretty little things, but I want to live for so much more than stifling trivialities.
