<div class="text-justify">Hi everyone, my name is Hazel. I’ve been using Hive as a blogging platform since 2018! Some would have known me as @travelingmercies, and being true to who I am, a person who enjoys new experiences, I created this another account for all my random but ever-consistent hobbies & habits of my little life. I have created my @travelingmercies account with the hopes and goal of telling my travel stories, and with that, my musings about what makes my ordinary life (albeit unique hehe) should have its platform.</div><br />

<div class="text-justify">I’d like to share in this account the bits of my daily routine, short-term goals and what I do to be closer to achieving them, and more. But to be honest this will most likely be about documenting my little steps on living out a healthy lifestyle! As random as it could get, but I’ll be sticking to my workout routine, the food I eat, books I read (or perhaps just snippets that spoke to my being), and old hobbies I plan to revive.</div><br />

<div class="text-justify">I’ve made an introduction post here on Hive already, but that’s me six years ago! So much has changed and I’d want to take this chance to reintroduce myself.</div><br />

<div class="text-justify">I haven’t been social for the past months and my introspection has convinced me that I do enjoy telling stories…by writing. I have kept a diary as a teenager, a journal as a young adult, and digital notebooks as an adult, which includes my @travelingmercies account. Even though I’ll forever remain a listener in social gatherings, I do share about my life, by writing and putting out where others and myself can read.</div><br />

<div class="text-justify">Among my many hobbies is taking photos (but of places only, I wish I could take portraits too but I still shy away from directing people). I feel like the photos I take show a bit of who I am, my interests, my thoughts, and my experiences. This account will probably serve as a photo album of the mundane days! :)</div><br />

<div class="text-justify">I enjoy cooking! Of course, dining and experiencing different cuisines are bundled with my love for cooking. But, here, I will be sharing what I cooked for my meals and how I packed my lunch like how I would want mine when I was a kid hehe.</div><br />

<div class="text-justify">Last but not least, my love for nature and WALKING! Recently, I have been obsessing over the number of steps I make in a day. It's not just to get fit but it has made a big impact on my headspace. I'd like to make this account my ACCOUNTability partner for my daily walking goals. It would also be nice to see how I progress or how consistent I am with reaching my target steps. Maybe, I can even have some people here who are up for this challenge, it's always nice to have people around your circle who have the same goal as you.</div><br />
