It has been a while since I blogged. Although I have no intentions of closing the blog, I could not bring myself to write anything. Mainly because I felt then that the photos were not pretty enough, and I am constantly trying to find the right words. I failed to measure up to my expectations, what the hell right? Who does that to themselves? At the same time I was also envious of pretty blogs with great reads. I wanted to be like that too. But then, that will not be suntaneye.
All the recent events have also made me think more about who I am, and what I want, rather than what I think what others will think. And rather than being unhappy at the fact that my paycheck consist of only three digits every two weeks, I now focus on the fact that I am able to live comfortably within my means. Even if it means my favorite shop is now Target and buying clothes and books are a luxury these days. At the end of the day, hey I can still have some savings. Vacations may mean short trips, but with sunsets like that in Maine, that is good enough for me. I am still learning to figure out what gifts to get for friends, especially when they seem to have most things. Handmade gifts are probably the best in this case. So I might not spend so much time online since making gifts take a while, and being online only makes me feel that I have low spending power - the temptations of internet shopping.
Most of all, I should be grateful for what I have! So many more things to do!
PS. I don't know if there is anyone who is silently following this blog, but I am going to move the blog to a new name sometime soon. Don't be shy and say hi! *waves* I will definitely email the new link to those who have been reading (or at least I think you are!) :)
