Introductions

Writing is actually similar to falling in love - you cannot help yourself, and no matter how you desperately run away from it, you find yourself falling, succumbing to its qualms.

Needless to say, this love-hate relationship I have with writing is the reason why I am here, taking up some English major subjects in the hopes of getting a masters degree. He had won me over - writing, and though I had tried running away from it in the past, I still end up seeking him, reeling back into his trusted arms, though our future together seems bleak and unsure.

Thinking back from when I was little, it was the precise love for life that made me love literature. I have created an alternate world that would help me escape realities that so confines and limits man, not knowing  that it would in turn haunt me. For I guess life and literature are great mirrors of each other. So long as I could turn to it, I am alive and able.

Now as I readily embrace it, I feel that I am still unsure of my future with him. But when I reflect on how I could help others, especially children, to see and appreciate life like I did through literature, then I know within my heart that I am satisfied that I am choosing to finally follow the route to my own Ithaca.

This blog is a witness of my journey through Literature. I hope I make it through the end.
