My dear readers, after a long and unplanned period of absence, Karo\u2019s little corner is finally back! I want to wish you a warm welcome back on the blog, and I am grateful that you are still part of this journey.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before I begin, I owe you an apology for the way that I left\u2026 no words, just complete silence. In March, something very unfortunate happened, and since then, I haven\u2019t been able to focus.\u00a0 My inspiration simply went out the window. I wanted to come back ; there were days when I would lie in bed trying to put together a few words, but writer\u2019s block had a strong hold on me. I missed writing. I missed all of you. But I couldn\u2019t do it, especially because one of my loved ones has been struggling. Nonetheless, I am grateful to those of you who reached out to express their admiration for my writing. You guys are the reason that I am back, despite everything.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

During my time away, I received many signs urging me to return. People wondered where I had gone and why I stopped writing. But there were two moments in particular that truly got my attention and pushed me forward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

First sign : <\/strong>About a month ago, I came across an application for an online course in digital marketing, a field I\u2019m passionate about. I decided to apply, but to my surprise, the registration form was long and very detailed, with open-ended questions. One of them asked : \u201cWhat social work have you been involved in over the past few years?\u201d <\/em>When I first saw that question, I didn\u2019t have a clue on what to answer. The country has been in a near-lockdown for years, leaving few safe opportunities for social involvement. As I was trying to come up with an answer, a coworker who was also applying said : \u201cYou should mention your blog.\u201d Surprised, I replied, \u201cMy blog??!\u201d She then explained how she believed the work I\u2019ve been doing could have a social impact. That option hadn\u2019t even crossed my mind. But when I thought about it, it made perfect sense. The whole point of the blog was to raise social awareness about mental health, a topic still taboo in our society. That single comment reminded me that I couldn\u2019t just let the blog die.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Second sign : <\/strong>A few weeks later, I was at the supermarket when I heard someone say \u201cKaro\u201d. I didn\u2019t recognize the voice but I still turned around. It was a sweet lady, a friend of my dad\u2019s who told me she had been reading my blog. She kindly expressed her concern that I wasn\u2019t writing anymore. Then, it happened again at church, when someone else came to me and told me not to give up. I was pleasantly surprised to see that people from an older generation not only read but also appreciated my work. That meant so much to me, because one of my goals has always been to help people, especially our parents understand the value of mental health. Seeing them embrace it truly warmed my heart.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Last sign :<\/strong> Even after those encounters, I still couldn\u2019t find the inspiration or strength to come back. Until recently\u2026 I was looking for something on Pinterest and I stumbled upon an inspiring picture. It was an anonymous quote, a short one, just three simple words : \u201cRemember your Why\u201d, and just like that I had found my comeback topic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"\r\n
Source : Pinterest<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The message came at exactly the right time. I realized that during my break, I had lost sight of my purpose and the meaning behind the work I was doing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This article is a wake-up-call, not only for me but also for each and every one of you reading it. I want you to take a moment right now to reflect on your \u201cWhy\u201d. What is the one thing you believe is your calling in life? What\u2019s holding you back from pursuing it? Identifying both your purpose and your obstacles is the first step toward moving forward.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I know why I took this break, and deep down I always knew that I should return. But somewhere along the way, I lost sight of my \u201cWhy\u201d. I don\u2019t want you to make the same mistake. Life may not be ideal right now, but where there\u2019s a will, there\u2019s always a way ! It\u2019s better to try and stumble than to give up altogether ; but through it all, never lose your Why. So, my dear readers: Don\u2019t just remember your why. Hold on to it. Nurture it. And most importantly : live it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s all for today people. Thank you for tuning in after 7 months and thank you for still being a part of Karo\u2019s little corner\u2019s family. It really means a lot. I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Until next time, stay safe and be blessed\u2026always!!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
