THE JOURNEY~

It's been a year, I've come to NZ for a year!! Just can't believe at how fast time is passing by~ But I would reckon this as one of the best chapters in my life, a chapter which involves a drastic change and transforms me into who I am today. Very very memorable indeed, the best part is, this favourite chapter of mine hasn't ended yet:) Really looking forward to accepting more challenges and creating more fond memories in the coming 1.5 years.

I am still the very same person, but the only difference now is I've started to know myself better and equipped myself with a few more skills which I used to think was a far-fetched dream. Now,  I see everything as an opportunity for me to get closer to my goal instead of a barrier. Though I can't deny the fact that there are always obstacles along this journey, I feel that sometimes these are just a stepping stone to the pinnacle of our life. 

I'm really glad to have this golden opportunity to get to know more about myself. This is something very crucial, at least for me. The dishes that I can cook now prove that I can do anything as long as I give it a try, it may not succeed during the first attempt, but the more you try, the closer you are into getting something perfect. Becoming perfect is not the main point here, but rather the emphasis is placed on whether or not you are allowing yourself to improve. 

Sometimes, life may throw us an exceptionally sour lemon which can turn our life into a really acidic state, even to the extent that it takes uncountable attempts or an overextended period of time in order for a neutral point to be reached. It is definitely not nice to live in such condition, nobody ever wants to get to such "pH" I am sure. Having said that, I would regard one of my experiences in life close to such state. When it happened to me, I knew that I couldn't just give up like this, that's way too early! The scars left behind affected me tremendously, be it physically or mentally, I just got to inject myself with a lot more courage despite of how much I was feeling deep inside. I was very determined, for the first time to return to the long-awaited "neutral point", otherwise I knew I would regret.

I could be my only enemy sometimes and in fact most of the times, as no one else except for myself cared so much about the issue. Probably I had set my expectations in my life a little too high, but I knew that I needed to make a change, in order to get out of that darkest moment. Thus, I did. I was glad that I gave it a try. 

I just found it hard whenever I wanted to express my inner feelings. Most of the time, I held on to that pillar of strength I gave myself so relentlessly that I wouldn't release it until I felt the need to. As long as that avenue could help me sail through the stormy sea, it's worth trying!

Sorry for such sentimental post, just wanted to use some words to describe what I felt at that juncture of time. I am writing all these down because I think this could be the right time and also a checkpoint before I continue even further along the path. Gladly to say that I am feeling a lot better than when I first started on this journey, I am also doing this to remind myself how much I've gone through and progressed to where I'm standing today. I want to thank the courageous 'ME' at that time and also all the people who were involved in my journey, you may or may not know it, but most importantly I know who you are. 

The journey hasn't ended yet, much more that I want to encapsulate in this wonderful journey. A journey which leads to a meaningful life, filled with lots love and happiness ! :)
