joyfull encounters is a public diary by Joy Gracia
hi! i am so happy you’re here. i started joyfull encounters because i love to write. writing lets me reflect and find meaning in my everyday. i want to share what i write because in a world that demands us to hustle and be our best selves i want to offer an alternative. i want to prove that in pursuit of chasing your dreams and living a life you love, you can hold on to yourself.
i think that accepting all of your selves, especially the vulnerable and tender, is the way to live a fulfilling life. my life principles are grounded on self acceptance and looking inwards instead of outwards. they manifest in these weekly reflections, which i hope you derive some meaning from :-)
let me stay tender hearted. despite despite despite - chen chen
