About
This blog is an outlet for me. Writing is something that I have been doing since I was very young. Somewhere along the way, I forgot how good it felt to put words together as a form of self-expression. I have always been fearful of criticisms and this is my way of facing my fears. Putting my work out there is like opening my soul up and it makes me feel very vulnerable.
My only wish is that you might be able to take with you something… an inspiration, new knowledge, or better yet… a realization that could help you trudge on with your life.
This is my personal journey wherein I welcome whatever I may be able to discover about myself… good or bad. The written word is my refuge. This is my life as I know it.
Welcome to my blog.
For comments, suggestions or maybe you just need an ear to hear you… feel free to email me: jopie[at]underthetropicsun[dot]com
I look forward to hearing from you!

UPDATE:
This has turned out to be a life-changing experience. It has turned my world from a dark and angsty place into something truly under the tropic sun. This is a log of the journey I am taking towards keeping the peace I feel intact and working towards new goals and new skill sets. I found that I have a love for photography… and it is my way of showing how I see the world at this point.
I recommend blogging to every one who would dare. 
It is truly a liberating experience.
