I was in elementary school when I first started loving writing my notes by hand. I would often say that it helps me study better, read the material with more intention, and is just generally therapeutic to do. However, when classes shifted online because of the pandemic, writing my own notes was no longer as efficient as I want it to be. Our university’s blocking system demanded a faster pace of learning things and although I would have loved to keep writing my notes by hand, I knew I had to adapt to the present times to make ends meet.
Who knew this day would come?—that I now use digital note-taking methods and modernized media to do my revisions. This is the reason why I haven’t uploaded a new photo in so long. I try to cling to familiarity. I attempt to produce the content I am known for; forgetting that growth is one of the most beautiful things I could actually share on this platform. Perhaps it’s because during birthday celebrations, people would wish you to “never change” when in fact, change is what keeps us alive day by day.
Being able to adapt is an important trait everyone should have and this year, my priority is enjoying the process while pursuing things that are meaningful to me. This priority requires being efficient and being mindful of my time. Here’s to longer captions and a slightly new theme that I can hopefully maintain. 🤞🏻
