Blogging
I'm going to try and update this blog regularly now. I think I forgot how to write. So let's hope this will help me. Yay!
Downers
We've all been one in some point of our lives. Unless you're that *weirdly* very optimistic person. Well if you are good on you! I hope there are more people like you in this world.
I don't like downers. They are the people who take away the fun out of anything. They are people who can make you feel so bad about your life and yourself. They are the people who see the negative side of everything and expect the worst to happen all the time. I hate them!
I may be like them sometimes but I like to think of myself more as a realistic or practical person. Though this part sometimes confuses me. How do you know if your just being realistic or just being too negative? Cos I think it can go either way. Depends on your way of thinking I guess.
I'm living at a place so far from home right now. I'm living with people that I was never even close with before I came here. I'm living in a country so different to my own. Everything is different from what I was used to back home. I've been here for more than a year and I find myself still struggling, still adjusting. With all the emotions that come with my situation right now the last thing I need in my life are downers. I need to surround myself with positive vibes or I might go into depression. I understand that going to a place so different will be hard. I get that. I prepared myself for that.I thought of that before I made the decision to go here.
I think it's normal to still feel sad, hopeless and homesick. But it is in times like these that I need people who believe in me and in what I can do. People who would tell me that I can do it and that everything is going to be okay. I need people who will support me. Who will tell me that even if you fail its alright because you know you gave it your all. I know what I need to do. It's just that it feels better if someone else says it. It gives you more motivation if it came from someone else because you feel that they have faith in you, and you know that you are not alone in the journey.
I don't get that a lot from people here. I get it more from my friends and family from home and I'm very grateful for that. They are the ones who push me. I need that extra push. So to my family and friends back home. I miss you! Thank you! I love you! For you, I'll give this my best shot!
