Welcome to Wendy's Journal

Join me on a journey of self-discovery, inspiration, and connection. Explore a diverse range of topics and perspectives through my  unique voice via my very own journal - Wendy's Journal.  

I decided to start a journal to welcome the year 2025 after thinking long and hard about it. I have always been interested in the art of writing though I was undecided as to what to focus on in my journal. Should I keep my innermost thoughts to myself or reveal only just some of my thoughts? Should I write more about my travel experiences or focus more on my personal reflections? Do I have any talent or skills in writing? Do I have what it takes to write a journal? There are so many questions and doubts about my ability.

But, I decided to be brave and start writing my journal. So, here goes! Wish me luck!

I hope the year 2025 will be a better year for me, personally and professionally, though year 2024 was quite a good year for me considering that I got to travel a bit, stayed in some pretty nice places, completed two online micro credential courses and created a website as well as a business plan for teaching English online. I was also immensely relieved that I got to meet up with Mark after not seeing him for 14 years. Finally, after 14 years, I did get to meet him again in a far away place called Stueng Treng, Cambodia. I was excited about our reunion because deep down in my heart, I still love him. I wanted so much for him to feel the same for me. I was full of hope and at the same time felt the futility of trying to get back together with him. 

We parted again after our brief reunion in November 2024. 

Will I get to meet him again in year 2025? Will we get to be reunited in year 2025? Will he still love me like he used to? Will we be able to sort out our differences? So many questions and so many uncertainties in life and yet I feel a strange sense of calm.

Readers who are interested in the answers may have to check out my next journal entries which may be out on a monthly basis, beginning of each month or before the end of each month. 

Readers are welcome to read my monthly journal entries for the year 2025 and come to their own conclusions.

Here is a sketch of me and Mark together in cafe in Cambodia, on our reunion in November 2024.
