Goodbye Sydney

Oh ma goodness. Two years flew past like this.
Probably the minimal updates on this blog made it seem like time passed by quicker. It felt just like yesterday when I arrived in Sydney, and bawled my eyes out feeling homesick haha.

I would say I really felt like home in Sydney only in the third semester. I mean like truly home ish.
But it was SO FUN. Thank you Sydney, and my amazeballs friends , and mom dad uncle axel, for allowing me to experience this. Omg feeling emo talking about this.
Well, this is something money can buy I guess lol

Officially packed and left on 26 July 2015. Chilled a month in Sydney, and now a month in singapore, before I officially start another chapter of my life. Or more like, endless story of working T.T

Dealing with...

regret.

This week had been quite shitty with pms and uncontrollable negative thoughts.
Then, a paper I studied my ass off for had been single-handedly ruined by me, for not flippin the god damn paper and realize there were 8 more bloody question behind.
How shitty can this get, hahahaha but I've complained enough, blamed externally factors enough too. All the what if's what if's...  What if's are so unpleasant to talk about.

'I realize mistakes oftentimes present challenges, but ultimately, you can only move forward if you find opportunities in your reality, whatever that may be.'
'The crazy thing about regret is that it seems imperative sometimes—as if we have to indulge it like a bed we made and now have to lie in. But there’s nothing compelling us to dwell on the way things could have been. The only thing that keeps us stuck in lost possibilities is the refusal to focus on new ones.

Life is now, and we always have a choice: do we drown in regret over what never came to be, or use our energy to create what can be? Today, I am choosing the latter.'

'Unfortunately, what you should have done is now irrelevant. All you can do is move forward from where you are.

This is an invaluable skill because it empowers us to take positive action instead of falling into a shame cycle.'

Great read :)

Linking these back to life in general. In our 20s, its much easier to deal with regrets. There's plenty of time to learn and move on. But what if we're 40? 50? I guess I'll have to start strengthening my mind for whats to come. Challenges and downs in life is inevitable, it's down to how you can overcome them and embrace them. And be a stronger person.

Be strong!! What goes down will come up anyways. It's a bloody vicious cycle with its darn ups and downs but enjoy the UPs :)
