I'm currently blogging from Taipei.
It's not my first time in Taiwan, I think this is my third visit? As usual, I'm enjoying my birthday overseas alone. I love mind-clearing solo trips... It seems that over time, I'm becoming more independent and really enjoying my alone time... I really enjoy eating alone, reading alone, packing alone, travelling alone, making decisions on my own... If you believe in the MBTI personality test results, it's known for the ENFP (my personality type) to be the most introverted out of all the extrovert personality types. Seems fairly accurate for my personality.
(:
I'm turning 26 tomorrow, which is really quite scary. While it feels like I haven't got my shit together (I AM SO FAR FROM THE WAY I ENVISIONED MY LIFE AT 25 WHEN I WAS YOUNGER), things aren't bad and I'm generally happy.
I'm actually at the common area of my cabin/ capsule hostel in Taipei typing away for this blog post and it's a brand new experience, a really nice experience in fact.
This is how a Taiwan keyboard looks like. Instead of using 'Han Yu Pin Yin' for pronounciation of the Chinese language, they use these unique symbols.
The hostel actually gave me a small surprise birthday gift at the concierge which is the sweetest, kindest gesture ever. They just suddenly, out of nowhere, asked me to pick a gift since it's June and my birthday. What a great birthday it already is for me.
Last year, I spent my birthday in Sydney and an Australian stranger spoke to me on the streets (when I went to attempt to climb a sea cliff, hahaha), drove me around Sydney, and treated me to a birthday meal and a birthday cup of coffee. Which was amazing because I was supposed to be all alone for my birthday.
Just want to say that while I'm not the most religious or superstitious person, I really think I'm blessed and watched over by God, angels, and most of all, kindness.
So, here's a reminder to stay kind, in a relatively hopeless world...
I am so happy I took the opportunity to travel for 2 months and I'm sure this journey will pay off for my overall well-being. Thank you for the support from my loved ones as well (:
Always try to be kind...
Pass the kindness on...
Reminder for myself and hopefully to you, who's reading this as well..
(I hope I don't act mean/ bitchy at times but I'm only human with volatile emotions lol)
