Faith over Fear

Today is 3 May 2025. I write this at 01:29 A.M. I had a sudden urge to start my blog today, so here I am typing late at night. I want to document my life experiences from here on now. My setbacks, my accomplishments, my spiritual awakenings, my dreams, every teaching and lesson I’ve learned along the way. I’ve only written in paperback diaries until now, but I want to give this online blog a go. When I was a child, I wanted to be an author, so perhaps this is my way of bringing it to fruition online.

I hope to look back one day and read my posts and see how far I have come. And I hope to at least inspire or encourage a few people who view this.

I was a very quiet kid growing up. I guess I enjoyed being in my own little world. I loved reading books and watching historical korean dramas of royalty and palaces, where the heroine would rise from the bottom to the the top. The library to me as a child was my sanctuary. I would go there every week on a Saturday and I would borrow the maximum amount of books which I believe back then was maybe ten. In school, I also loved rummaging through the bookshelves and had a big interest in the classic books when I was 10 years old. I also remember absolutely loving Anne of Green Gables and The Hobbit. I also finished reading the first Harry Potter book in 3 days, because I was so obsessed. Fairies have always fascinated me as a young child as well, and there was a book series, the Rainbow Magic Fairies book collection or something, where I would read nearly every single one of them, because I loved the stories too much. It was about two best friends working together to defeat Jack Frost with the help of fairies. To me, life was magical and mystical, full of wonder.

But things took a turn when I hit 11 years old. That’s when I wanted to fit in with the crowd, there was a desire in me to be liked by others… and at that time, I had just started secondary school in London. My quietness was now a seen weakness to others, and I slowly lost myself and my true essence. Life was tough; I had to overcome a lot of struggle, fear, self-doubt, anxiety, and lack of confidence back then.

If I could whisper some words to that younger version of me, I would tell her that she is enough and to never dim her light for anyone. You are valuable, you matter, and you have so much to offer to this world.

Fast forward to the present, I am now an entrepreneur. I started my business journey when I was around 19 years old. When I hit 21 years old I achieved my goal of making over $100,000 in my business. Never in my life did I think a poor, young girl like me would ever reach such a number at that age. I have never really talked about such an accomplishment with anyone before, because I’m not someone who tends to showcase things like this, but here I am blasting it on the internet. How funny. I guess I am proud of myself for that. I am now in a new business venture. It’s still new to me, but I know I can do whatever I put my mind to.

One key lesson I have learned so far in my 23 years of life on earth is to believe in yourself. Even when you feel all odds are against you. Believe in yourself. Take action, move forward, and trust that what you seek is also seeking you. Things that I thought would never happen in my life have already manifested here. Not just that, everytime I quiet my mind and pay attention to the little things, the universe shows me many synchronicities and unexpected but meaningful events.

So yes. Here’s to the start of a new beginning. This is Whispers of Becoming. My story. My life. My wisdom to share to you all.

Random thought in my mind:

P.S. Sometimes I think too much about the destination and forget that it is the journey that matters the most. The character development. The art of becoming. The journey of transformation and growth. And I hope you remember that too. Enjoy the journey always.

Love

Wendy
