Birthday Reflection

heretopost First Entry: Finally Starting 📅 May 18, 2025

Welcome to heretopost.

I’ve always wanted to start a blog. For the longest time, I just didn’t know how to begin—or what to write about. I kept putting it off, waiting for the perfect idea or the right words to come. But nothing ever felt quite right.

Lately though, life has been testing me in ways I didn’t expect. And in the middle of all that, I realized I needed an outlet—a space where I could release my thoughts and emotions, not just to share them, but to better understand myself. Writing feels like a good first step. So here I am—heretopost.

By the way, today is my birthday. I'm spending it in a faraway place, celebrating quietly—alone. I felt like I needed to do this... to create space for some deep thinking. I’m in a cool, misty place surrounded by lush greenery, peaceful views, and calm silence. You won't hear the usual city buzz here—just the wind, the trees, and the occasional bird call. It’s the kind of place where you can breathe a little deeper.

I wanted to disengage from the noise of city life, reconnect with nature, and just be in a place where no one knows me. No pressure to talk, no need to explain anything, no expectations. Just me.

How does it feel to celebrate alone? Honestly, I’m not even sure. I'm torn between feeling peaceful and a little melancholic. The day passed like any ordinary one—but somehow, I got to do the things I truly wanted. I had a really good stone massage, finally satisfied my long-time craving for a vegan burger (and it was worth the wait), and I did a 10K walk after discovering a nearby oval track. Walking clears my head—especially when I need to process my thoughts.

When I returned to the hotel, I was so exhausted that I slept like a baby. That kind of deep, restful sleep I rarely get.

And then, there was this one thing that made the day quietly special. Someone very dear to me made the effort to visit. We had breakfast together and went out for a short walk before parting ways. It was simple—but deeply meaningful. No birthday cake, no birthday song, no parties. Just sincere text messages from people who remembered me. And strangely... I liked it that way.

Maybe heretopost won’t be perfect. Maybe my entries will be random, raw, and unfiltered. But if it helps me reconnect with myself, that’s enough.

Thanks for reading. I’m just getting started. ✨
