Winter is officially here. And it's making me miss all the warmth back home - family, best friend, friends. I don't know how the others do it, or perhaps, how they hide it. For me, there's not a day that goes by without thinking of my loved ones back home. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
Just like that, 15 weeks have gone by. While it may seem like pure enjoyment being here, I've honestly learned a lot from being here. Independence and what not aside (though I feel I've really gain quite a significant bit thus far), I've come to realise how much I actually don't know about myself. Have you ever had that moment where you realise that you're actually not the person you make yourself to be? Or perhaps the person you want others to think of you, is not who you portray yourself to be? I've been experiencing that a lot. (Or maybe it's simply because I've been away from the people who help shape me, for too long.)
Well, I've yet to find myself, yet to discover who I really am. All these while I've based my actions on other's opinion of me. (That made me extremely conscious of every little thing I did.) But I guess it's safe to say that I've stepped out of that, and I don't think I ever want to go back there. I'm happier where I am right now. And so, I'm just gonna keep moving forward, to keep making the best out of every opportunity I have to learn, and to grow into a better version of myself. (:
"You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.”
Till then, hugs and kisses to all of you back home. <3
