About me

Hi! My name is Josephine, but you can call me Pen or Pluma here in the world of WordPress. This has been my safe haven and creative space for as long as I can remember.

Trivia: Did you know that aside from writing on my diary since I was 9, I did have Friendster, Tumblr and Twitter accounts where I used to post random thoughts and blogs? If you know what I mean, hello friend! 😉

Looking back with a full-blown cringe on my spine, I can now clearly see myself as an emotionally absorbed person. With the risk of sounding like an ’emo’ (hey, do people still use that word these days?), I did enjoy writing my heart out. Now, of course things have changed. I have grown. Like many others, I learned to filter my words and my writing. The only thing I haven’t learned thoroughly is how to edit. I haven’t been an avid ‘blogger’ as much as I wanted to. Let’s just say that over 10 years on, I still dabble at blogging. Even though in my heart, I still want to write. I still want to publish a book. Or even a tiny poetry book with beautiful watercolour art on the side. Sigh. What a dream.

If you like unbridled poetry, my fancy way of saying randomly written poems, then you may find my page interesting. If you like vague short stories, then maybe you’ll like it here.

Please know that I cannot promise inspiration and entertainment, as I mainly write for myself.

If you wish to know more about me on a semi-personal level and get a glimpse of my life, you can follow me on my visual diary on Instagram @curatedhomemaking.
