Day 16

This year, I’ve participated in several courses and learned new things. In March, I took an entrepreneurial studies course, and recently, I’ve taken courses in photography and social media marketing. In those things, you’re never ready. There is always something new to learn. Life is a learning process. Even if you know things, repetition is never bad. If you want to learn something new, being interested in it helps. I tried to learn coding when I studied web design, but that wasn’t fun because I never seemed to learn. I didn’t like learning it because of that. It’s a waste of time if you can’t learn what is being taught. If you like what you’re learning, things get stuck in your head better.

Being creative has been my thing as far as I can remember. I have never wanted to do anything with building stuff (not anything to do with alabaster or any kind of material). Doing things on a computer and digital things is more for me.

Day 15

Today, it’s 11 years since my mother died. It was 2013. I started this blog in January of the following year because I wanted to write down my thoughts. Some people meditate; I write. Writing has always been my way of expression. Before, it was a diary; now, it’s a blog. I couldn’t meditate, trying to empty my head from thoughts. I’m an introvert, and my mind won’t stop thinking even during the night. Sometimes, it feels like no one cares what I write, but I still do it. It’s a bonus if someone likes what I write. Blogging should be fun, and what else to do than write about the things you like to do or things you want to share. Since my parents have passed away, who else should I tell my thoughts to, if not through blogging?

Next year, I have to remember my dad’s death day, too. Time goes fast when you think about it. Life must continue, but never stop remembering the good things that were. My parents taught me many things that are still useful to me, and I’m grateful for that.
