About Me
I use to want the corner office. Now I want the world.
Hey Strangers!
If you’re wondering who I am, I’m wondering too. I’m wondering how to put me in words. Self-introductions are always so bland. My name is Monica. I’m Chinese. I was born and bred in New York City. (Go Brooklyn!) I majored in Advertising and Marketing Communications. I’m currently an Account Coordinator at a social media marketing agency.
But is that really who I am? Not entirely. Words can’t fully capture a person’s character. It’s your actions that define who you are. And those actions should be filled with passion. Life should be lived with passion.
Traveling makes me feel that way. It makes me feel alive to discover bits and pieces of myself and of humanity along the way. But sometimes I forget. I forget because I’m afraid of being financially unstable. I find myself giving in to the practicality and comfort of working a 9-5, actually it’s a 9-7. But who’s counting?
“To be nobody but yourself in a world that’s doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.”- E.E. Cummings
I refuse to let society program me. Conformity isn’t for everyone. I want to see the world through my eyes, not the way someone else tells me to. My interpretation of it makes me who I am. The path I take to get there is by traveling.
Traveling doesn’t always mean leaving the country. It doesn’t mean you have to leave your home. Home is where the heart is. Traveling is leaving your bubble, your comfort zone. Sometimes I travel to different places in the world. Sometimes I travel in my thoughts. Either way I travel, it’s food for my soul.
That’s who I am. I’m always hungry. Feed me!
Monica
P.S. Wondering why this blog is called A Pair of Panties & Boxers?
