The Greeks once said, “know thyself”, this aphorism written in the depths of the omphalos still ring true today. There is such power in understanding our innermost thoughts and emotions.

By knowing ourselves, we create the foundation of our being. We follow paths to where we want to go to. Furthermore, we become confident in our strides because we know our place in this huge world. We follow our dreams in hopes that a bigger future awaits us, a future where we keep on learning and discovering who we are.

For my first post, I would like to share 10 things that I’ve learned about myself thus far. Through sharing these intimate pieces of myself, I hope that you will get to know me more as a person. Some of these tidbits will be shared more in detail as I continue blogging about my life.

So, without further ado, here are 10 facts about me.

1.      I love taking pictures. Some of my best photos can be found on my Instagram account. Feel free to explore if you get a chance.

2.      I am a bibliophile. People often associate my personality with the typical nerd who loves books and reading. I personally have a bookshelf filled with amazing titles. (FYI, I’ll be doing some book reviews for this blog, so watch out!)

3.      I travel a lot. So far, I’ve only been travelling in my country the Philippines. But I hope that I can begin travelling internationally soon.

4.      I am a sucker for good art. Regardless if it’s a doodle on the back of a notebook, a painting at a museum or a mural in our neighborhood, I will always end up gushing over it.

5.      I love celestial bodies and the cosmos. Whenever I look up at the nighttime sky, I just can’t help but feel awe and wonder over the beauty of the stars and moon.

6.      I am passionate about animals and nature. I feel that it is man’s duty to preserve nature and make it into a better place to live in. (Some of my posts will be related to this as well)

7.      I pride myself in being a member of the LGBTQ community. I am an out and proud gay dude who is not afraid to express myself in things that I love. Furthermore, I firmly believe that loving should never be limited to once sexual orientation or gender identity.

8.      I constantly seek adventures. I am restless and oftentimes have a habit of looking for new things to try and experience. Cliché as it sounds, we only have this life to live, so why not fill it with adventures and discoveries?

9.      I have a knack for sharing quotes and sayings.

10.   I am still in the process of learning about myself.

Thus, I started this blog to share this journey. I hope that through reading my post, I’ll be able to inspire you and help you know yourself as well.
