Hazels secret blog

Time is something I wish I had more of—something I can never get enough of. I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way. When I logged in to my Blogger account, I saw a bunch of unfinished drafts with just a short paragraph or two, capturing thoughts I'd wanted to preserve. Honestly, I no longer remember what I was thinking when I wrote them, and I wish I had a clue what I was trying to express. Yes, I wish Doraemon existed, so I could turn back time to understand what I wanted to record. It also makes me wonder: if I could stop time from passing, would I feel calm enough to finally finish writing my thoughts down?  As I grow older, my frustration grows more easily. Everything takes time, and I've lost the patience to spend it freely. Consequently, I often leave my thoughts unfinished on this blog. And it's not just writing; there are many things I can't finish, as I have a habit of giving up halfway through. I can't help but feel anxious when I spend too lon...

I've always loved creating. I believe humans are born with an urge to create, whether it's through art creation to nurturing their offspring. That's why I want to maintain a weekly writing habit—it is the best way to sort through the constant stream of thoughts in my mind. However, life always keeps me busy, and my plate is inevitably full. My hope is that as my English writing skills improve, I will spend less time struggling with sentence structure and more time expressing myself effectively. My mind has been racing since last month. First, I left Asia for the very first time on a trip to Australia, a place I had always wanted to visit. Just before that, I took my debut solo trip to Japan. Now, I've recently recruited a new student and resumed my career as a private tutor. These experiences have collectively given me a sharp sense of just how unequal our world is. English—a language whose origin is Great Britain—has conquered the world; almost every person on the plan...

I love writing my thoughts and sharing them with people. Yet, it has been a year since I wrote my last blog post, even though I thought I could maintain a habit of writing monthly when I started. I guess I was just too naive back then. Clicking open my blog today, my mind flew back to writing that very first entry. It was not long after I started mentoring that I began writing here. It saddens me that the mentoring program ended long ago. It has been a month since it ended, and I left the school over seven weeks ago. The fact that today is the 1st of September — the day the new school year begins, is painful. It is a stark reminder that I have to officially say goodbye to that chapter of my life, and that my path will likely never cross with my previous students again.  Why did I join Teach Unlimited Foundation, a non-profit education organization, at the beginning? It was because I was desperate to make a change. I wanted to make things better and cultivate a sense of happiness in...
