bluemoonpavilion When we choose to have kids, the responsibility naturally comes with it, which is actually good because we mature. The sacrifice part is so true as I do not seem to have my own time anymore, everything, every activity revolves around my boy

bluemoonpavilion That is just so heartening to hear! Seems like your testimonial to this. I used to be much better at writing when I was so active back in the old days, but now thoughts and ideas just does not flow out as smoothly. I find myself trying hard to articulate what...

bluemoonpavilion Sometimes there's commitment issues or laziness that make us slack off, so I think the next question will be how to motivate ourselves to keep practising.
