Looking back to 2016, which was an important turning point in my lifetime, there were a lot of unforgettable moments to memorize. They may not all be cute and adorable ones, whereas they do have their reasons to have happened to me. I value every person and thing that has taught me how to behave and grow up. And moving forward to 2017, I hope I could become a more brave, persistent and resilient lady so that I could approach my dream a step further.
Australia is a wonderful land, which I've acknowledged not only once. An important reason is it helps me recollect my tempo of life. After moving to this new accommodation, I did take some time to adapt to all what life involves like amenities, work, transport and so on. One thing to confess is that I used to be a most stubborn guy who didn't know how to enjoy life to its most. Amy once commented on my life routine as "military management" style and I tended to make not only myself but also others around me feel stressed. But gradually, I begin to realize that there's actually nothing wrong to value time. On the other hand, since I have little chance to win the race against time, why not just live for now and feel my life intensively?!
Another self-reflection is namely the way to get along with the sense of loneliness. I've been away from home for over ten years and to be honest, I'm already used to the way being on my own. However, it doesn't mean that I'm always that tough as I seem to be. When inevitably being hit by the feelings of isolation and depression, I always try to cheer myself up by filling my heart with warm experience together with my friends and family. The key to feel happy is to embrace beauty and kindness in life with a grateful heart. For instance, during the festival season I'd reward my colleagues Michael and Tammy as well as my landlords George and Amy. Although I can't afford to buy very expensive gifts, I believe the thought really counts.
@Lucky Eva, January is already there and it's a fresh start to be a better me.
