A tweet from one of my favorite bloggers immediately caught my undivided attention as I was browsing my twitter account last night. She said that she will going to quit now her blogging career and will now make room for new growth. I was disheartened upon knowing the news but dismissed it since I know for a fact that I can still read her blog anyway.
Or that's what I thought.
It had been a constant thing for me to do to check her blog every now and then just to see if she has something new to share that can make me smile and could inspire me in some ways like what her other previous entries did to me. I can still remember that time when I first stumbled upon her blog. I can not literally take my eyes off it. I could not get enough of her stories. Each of her entries entices me to read more and to not stop reading until I had gone through all of it. That is how inviting and addicting her blog was.
I like her unpretentiousness, her being able to capture the essence and lesson of all her experiences and her capability to put into concrete and seemingly fitting words these experiences. Not a single event in her life has gone to waste. It felt like I was reading a non-fiction novel which I could not put down. As time passed by I could not help but to ultimately root for the protagonist. Of course, in this case, she is the protagonist.
All that she wrote came from the heart. It felt like nothing was filtered and left out. Thoughts, feeling and events as she experience it, however personal those may be, were indisputably shared to the rest of the world. All were written as it is. How I wish to be selfless like that.
She and her blog had become a great inspiration to me. Aside from my deep love for writing and that want to track my growth through the coming years, I mainly start off this blog of mine with her blog in mind. I was so envious but in a good way though. She had blogged for 6 years. Putting together 6 years worth of experiences is truly epic and being able to go back to each and every single one of those experiences through reading as those was written by someone who is familiar and yet so strange; someone who pretty much resembles oneself but not quite is much blissful. I want to also do that for myself. In the future, I want to travel back to time and see how much I have changed and matured through the past years and I think this dream of mine will come to life through blogging.
According to her tweets, she had already deleted her blog. I was trying to get through it yesterday but I obviously could not.
Upon recognizing this sad reality, it dawned on me that I could not read her blog anymore. I could never go back now to my favorite entries that she once posted; entries that were once just sitting in her web space, very much available for the whole humanity to see. I felt kind of lost. But despite my sadness about all of these, I am truly happy for her. The spark and inspiration that her blog left off are all that is left with me. I will rekindle once in a while that spark so that it will not be put off.
I really want to thank her for sharing. I am so blessed to stumble upon the blog of a truly talented individual. From the deepest part of an avid fan's heart, thank you and kudos to you Ms. Ala Paredes of Ala-ism! I'll just be here waiting and looking forward to your next venture.
