Not Starting Over. Starting Anew.

I started dabs back in 2001 right before I started college. All through college I had been pretty good at keeping it up. I have met some amazing fellow bloggers and made a few net-friends along the way. There were ups and downs but it was a great journey nonetheless. That’s why six and a half years later I am still holding on.
I stopped blogging almost two years ago due to a lack of time, shortly after I got my first full-time position at Veoh. After a year of work and knowing I would be coming back to Hong Kong, I thought what is a better time than this to resurrect my blog. But life has been busy and there is always something else to do. I figure I would never get around to it if I don’t make time for it, and being as sentimental as I am, just leaving it behind is never an option for me. So half a year later and with some determinaton, dabs is back again.
Leaving the states to come back to Hong Kong was a pretty tough change for me, leaving behind a group of great friends and a life I have gotten so accustomed to. But there was also a bit of excitement about starting over at a city so different than what I have remembered. With a new environment and meeting new people, there are also new opportunities. I suppose it’s all about your perspective and attitude. I guess it’s really time for me to look forward instead of dwelling on the past, even though it will always be in my memory and be a part of me. That is also a reason why I haven’t brought back the old entries. It’s really not starting over; it’s starting anew. Now I just have to believe in it.
