A Sudden Turn

As I was browsing through my friends' Facebook walls, I realized that what they post there are what happened in their day or in their lives. They post the lessons they've learned from each experiences that every day brings to them. Suddenly, a thought struck me. I wanted this blog to be my guide and the way to my own self. I wanted to know myself more so I post quotes to guide me through the right path in this life. But then I guess I was completely wrong. I should rather write what happens in my every day and what lessons do I learn from my everyday experiences. That way, I would know if I'm really learning and growing.
