Hi there, and welcome to my blog—a space where I hope to share my thoughts and tell the story of my life and growth.
The alternate name of the site is Becoming Mrs. Yonson, born from an idea I’ve carried for a long time: becoming the woman I envision myself to be. The movie La Femme Nikita was a big inspiration for that. I loved how the main character was thrown into a gauntlet that ultimately helped her unlock her potential. Knowing that I’m still not the person I want to be, I decided to document the process—document my becoming. I thought it might be interesting, and maybe even serve as a roadmap for anyone navigating their own evolution.
For a long time, I believed I had a lot of control over this whole “becoming who you want to be” thing. But it turns out life has other plans, and I’m in considerably less control than I imagined. Still, all of that—every twist and unexpected detour—plays into the becoming. And so, I suppose my only option is to embrace it.
I’ve always loved writing and reading ever since I was a girl. If I’d been in the right environment, I might’ve become a writer a long time ago. But it’s not too late—and maybe this blog is the beginning of that journey. I’ve also always felt a pull toward philosophy, often reflecting on the episodes of my life, trying to make sense of them and find deeper meaning. What I’ve found most fascinating is how that meaning tends to shift as I grow—or sometimes, how it stays exactly the same.
I kept several diaries growing up, though I’ve since lost or destroyed them. It was always fun to look back and see how my opinions changed over time. I’m looking forward to doing that here, in this new kind of diary.
For you, the reader, I hope that in your search for answers—whether you’re pursuing something or nursing a quiet ache—something I write might offer comfort. Maybe because it says, you’re not alone, or because someone else has had that same strange thought… or even just because you find yourself thinking, well, this nitwit doesn’t have the answer either.
Mostly, I want to write because it’s probably healthier than talking to myself, which I’ve developed quite the habit of doing. People say it’s fine as long as you don’t answer back—which always made me laugh. Naturally, in an act of defiance, I’ve answered myself anyway. And, so far, my mind seems to be intact. Or so I think.
Anyway, as you can already tell, I ramble. I hope you enjoy the blog and find reasons to keep coming back.
