Why I write this blog?

Hey reader, thank you for stopping by and taking your time to read this post. This may be a new blog but I am not new to blogging. I was one of those that got caught in the blogging craze of the 2000s when I was a teenager and had a ‘pretty, girly’ blog. But it has been long forgotten in the void of internet and priorities when life, as an adult, happened.

So you ask me, why launch a new one? Why not the pick up where I left?

Well, since my last stint as a blogger, I have grown up. And when you grow up, you change. Also, you rediscover yourself in your 30s (that sounds so cliché but no, I didn’t go on a spiritual retreat for finding myself). I am more aware of who I am as a person, not completely, but more than before. It is a process. You learn about yourself all along the journey (Oh boy! We are going down the philosophical rabbit hole!).

All this to tell you that I wanted to start afresh. An online journal to document and share the little things in everyday life : books, novice art endeavours, favourite cafés, slow living (I try) and life in general. As for the name, I love matcha lattes, it’s as simple as that.

Stay around, and thank you for your support! 🙂
