You think..., Don't You?

You think, I always look happy and bubbly, because I only view the world via the pink lenses, don't you?

You think, the decision to live and study abroad by myself is like a joke, don't you?

You think, making the decision to give up my current life, all my contributions, efforts, network, fruitful achievements, and transfer to an absolutely new environment is as easy as a piece of cake, don't you?

You think, I do not usually share my thoughts and feelings and maintain silence, because I am vulnerable, weak, or coward, don't you?

You think, I rarely complain about things and life, because I am silly, don't you?

You think, I say 'yes' to most things, because I am patient and easy going, or crazy, don't you?

I am not good at explaining myself, and I hate confusion. Please talk to me, and ask me questions by any means and let clear things up together. I respect honesty, even though it is sometimes hurtful. However, it is an ideal way to solve problems. Therefore, let me clarify your assumptions so that you can free yourself from negative and selfish thoughts, then gain more empathy and connection with your true self and others. What I am saying here is not to complain; instead, I want to help you understand the situations better.

This real life is not fairytale, who doesn't know that? It is unfair, and full of obstacles, and traps. I totally get that! BUT I choose to be happy and optimistic. This is my 'secret weapon' to conquer challenges and make it this far. Why do I have to ruin my life due to nonsense things?

It is never easy for me to decide to leave my family and live, and study in a foreign country. Nothing to laugh at. I am aware of the 'price' I have to pay and cannot complain about it. Everything will pass, lessons and experiences that I can gain from this journey are more important. You are tired of this task or whatever, please look! I am the one should complain because I am sure that no one has the desire to leave stronger than mine.

It is my sacrifice and commitment! I know how to prioritise things and I have faith in my intuition, my decision, and you! Therefore, please don't let me down!

That's a good thought! But, let me tell you this. I set rules for myself. Two of them are "never waste my time and words on someone who always refuses to believe in my viewpoints" and "someone's business that can only be solved by themselves, mine is not the exception". Why do I need to scream at the top of my lungs to draw people's attention, argue and burn out my energy without any positive outcomes? There is no need to do that nonsense action! I value my words so I put quality to them without stressing out about quantity.

I see everything as opportunities. Easy and good things come to my life, they are my 'friends' or 'treats'. On the other hand, I believe that obstacles are 'teachers'. They are bitter and tough, but they teach lessons to be stronger and smarter. Complaining excessively is synonym for suicidal ideation. I am not ready to die yet! Life still has a vast number of new and interesting things to explore!

Similar to what I mentioned in the previous paragraph, the more I experience, the more mature, and confident I will be. Why don't I step out of my comfort zone to try out new things, make mistakes, and grow from them? Of course, that's how I am rolling with!

I hope this message is meaningful for me to stay positive and relieve stress. I hope other people will share the same feelings as mine. No matter what tomorrow will be, let's live the best present moment!
