Obligatory annual post.
This year I moved back out again. I travelled to Fiji, China and Darwin.
In terms of academics, this year has been for sure the hardest one yet. There were so many lows, but so many highs and the feelings of accomplishment were the most rewarding of all. The finish line is so close now.
The biggest thing that came out of this year is that I finally started dating a boy for real this time. I don't know if it was the distance or the cultural differences, but this one feels different. At times, I've been so sure and at times I have not. I've learnt what it means to love someone and want their happiness above yours, to be sad when they are sad, and to be in pain when they are in pain. You've made me grow and re-examine my thoughts and actions. I've learnt about sacrifice and the importance of putting aside ego.
But it's funny because even though we have a year of memories, right now this distance and space is definitely hard. Only time will tell how this story unfolds I guess. I'm curious to see how we will have transformed in the next 12 months.
I want to make resolutions this year.
1. To be kinder to others but especially family and close ones.
2. To be a more global citizen: recycle more, buy those free-range eggs, pick the vege option for once and not just because sumal is there.
3. Be genuinely happy for others. Their success doesn't undermine yours, work on that jealousy.
4. Say hi to people when they come home.
5. Meditate
6. Progress with fitness goals.. 5 pullups this year?
