Why▼?



I started writing this blog in 2010 when I was 13. I started a new life in my high school. I got to know there was this platform where I could write my thinking online. 2010 was a challenging year as I had to adapt to new surrounding. My high school life and primary school life were very different. In my high school, most of my classmates spoke English. Compared to my primary school, I seldom spoke English. Due to my mother tongue problem, I was afraid to communicate in English. Therefore, I created this blog so that I could practice my writing in English. 

My belief and my lifestyle change accordingly with my age. Soon as I grew up, I started to have different perspectives on things. I was a little bit abusive to myself when I was 15, I started to care more about people when I was 17 and now I concentrate more on faith, belief as well as my all time favorite, fashion. The trend of this blog mainly focuses on God, myself and my surroundings. 

The blog link was first set as joyful-jean. I was inspired by John Wesley, the founder of Methodist church. He shared about the importance of christian being joyous people in the world because christian have the grace of God. I decided to have faith in God and soon I found out that it was actually not that easy to be a christian. 

The blog link was renamed from joyful-jean to joypaparazzi in 2015. I couldn't spell paparazzi properly until I changed my blog link. The reason behind this was because I reached another stage of my life. I got in a college. I was depressed when I got into the college because I felt lonely. As a loner, I always observed what people did and found the interactions were too interesting. I felt like a paparazzi. I changed my blog name to joypaparazzi, means I found joy in observing my surrounding. The word 'joyful' was edited to 'joy' as I wanted to be joyful after encountering difficulties in my life.

Triangle is a geometry shape. It has got 3 angles. Triangle has always been my favorite shape. It shows the insight of fashion. It's unique in its shape. The 3 sharp points can be anything, but I choose not to name anything. Thinking about how to make my blog more graphical and customised, I chose to name it with a shape instead of an English title. It gives perfect meaning of communication is not restricted by languages. Also, as I have been liking the "Triangle" and "Geometry" chapters in my Math since I was 16, I gave a triangle shape as the name of this blog. 

I hope you enjoy reading God's grace in my life.
