Deaths of my heart _____________________ I’ve been on a rather lengthy hiatus lately given the various circumstances. Sometimes decompression is needed for sanity to prevail. Other times, it’s simply closure... Living and working abroad as a teacher comes with its perks, but it also comes with sacrifice. Deaths are never easy but it pains more when you’re unable to be with family. .. I’m not quite there yet, but I know with time, if I allow myself to feel what I’ve spent so long escaping, wounds will eventually heal. . . . #reflections #thoughts #quotes #words #passion #writing #writerslife #writers #writer #writersnetwork #Taiwanese #writtenword #creativewriting #spilledthoughts #WritingCommunity #follow #poet #emotions #poems #self #human #readwriteunite #life #wanghsuehli #writinglife #Taiwanesegirl #poetry #connection #pain @mirakeeapp @writersnetwork

Moussa Castle _____________________ I stumbled across this peculiar castle situated between Deir el Qamar and Beit Ed-Dine. It was built by Moussa Abdel Karim el Maamari who, at a young age, was inspired by the Middle Ages and wanted to build a castle. The castle includes very interesting displays of weapons, clothes, jewelry and various human sized figures. It’s definitely a sight! If you’re in Lebanon, check it out. . . . #traveller #travel #travelgram #instatraveling #travelislife #globletrotter #TheTravelWomen #dametraveler #femmetravel #explore #womenwhoexplore #travellingthroughtheworld #travelawesome #wanderlust #treasure #travelphotography #travelogue #architecture #history #Lebanon #castle #follow #weapons #architecture #clothes #jewelry #tb #thirties #Taiwanese #Taiwanesegirl

Addicted to the experience of being human. Sometimes I fear and wish I could be saved from my emotions, for they are far too grand for my liking. Yet, at times, they serve as the only element that grants me compassion. Oh, what a delicate balance between torment and pleasure. _____________________ . . . #reflections #thoughts #quotes #words #passion #writing #writerslife #writers #writer #writersnetwork #Taiwanese #writtenword #creativewriting #spilledthoughts #WritingCommunity #follow #poet #emotions #poems #self #human #readwriteunite #life #wanghsuehli #writinglife #Taiwanesegirl #poetry #connection #mirakee @mirakeeapp @writersnetwork101

Valentine’s Day _____________________ Late post, but better late than never. Valentine’s Day was a couple of weeks back and a few of my students came by and delivered these. I can’t express the love that I have for all of my students. Although I don’t have any children of my own, being a teacher in many ways also means being a parent and a role model. It’s not really a full time job, it’s a lifestyle. .. My life revolves around planning, activities and assessments, games, research, and most importantly, trying to better my approaches and methodologies every week, quarter, semester and year. In many ways, my students challenge me to stay on top of my A game, to improve and become a better teacher after every unit, and to be more understanding and mindful of their various needs - academic or personal. Big shout out to my present and past students. Love you all beyond measure ❤️❤️ . . . #teachersofinstagram #teacher #educator #students #teachergram #highschool #literature #classroom #growth #grade11 #grade12 #thestruggleisreal #valentines #love #passion #teacherlife #teachersofig #simplepleasures #joysofteaching #englishteacher #highschoolteacher #NAC #school #schoollife #academia #Tagamo3 #NewCairo #Cairo #Egypt

Lately I have been struggling to find balance between my principles and values, and the various situations that I feel bombarded with. Maybe I am taking life too seriously, but what are we in this world except our thoughts, words and actions? The struggle is real... _____________________ . . . #reflections #thoughts #quotes #words #passion #writing #writerslife #writers #writer #writersnetwork #Taiwanese #writtenword #creativewriting #spilledthoughts #WritingCommunity #follow #poet #emotions #poems #self #human #readwriteunite #life #wanghsuehli #writinglife #Taiwanesegirl #poetry #connection #mirakee @mirakeeapp @writersnetwork

“Nostalgia in reverse, the longing for yet another strange land, grew especially strong in spring.” — Vladimir Nabokov _____________________ The dream of returning to a time and place where what is known exists as it once was. I have been living in my daydreams of fantastical stories. Take me back and please don’t wake me. . . . #traveller #travel #travelgram #instatraveling #travelislife #globletrotter #TheTravelWomen #dametraveler #femmetravel #explore #womenwhoexplore #travellingthroughtheworld #travelawesome #wanderlust #treasure #travelphotography #travelogue #architecture #palace #Lebanon #beiteddine #follow #mosaics #art #Lebanon #beautiful #tb #thirties #Taiwanese #Taiwanesegirl
