I was the protected daughter and even more protected sibling among my two fairly large gap siblings. I’ve always been someone that tries for something but not hard enough, often i always regret later. I sheltered myself in my comfort zone. sometimes just to be safe. Risky business is not my thing. Again, i regret it later. No regrets they say,
But its always part of life!

You walk, You run, You fall, You pick yourself up and You walk again!

Just like moving to Melbourne, At 21, its like yes! ticket to freedom, but as you get older, the distance takes a toll. You start to yearn for your parents and family even more than before. As your parents aged, the missing birthdays and family milestones, you start to get very homesick very frequently. Living in a foreign land, you do what you got to do. And i thank God for the (only) 7 hour flights just to get home! 

I believed that God placed variables in your surroundings at all times to guide you through life lessons. Who are we to judge that an unfortunate situation was meant to be our retribution. It doesn’t work like that.

Here’s the thing about people with good hearts. They give you excuses when you don’t explain yourself. They accept apologies you don’t give. They see the best in you when you don’t need them to. At your worst, they lift you up, even if it means putting their priorities aside. The word “busy” does not exist in their dictionary. They make time, even when you don’t. And you wonder why they’re the most sensitive people. You wonder why they’re the most caring people. You wonder why they are willing to give so much of themselves with no expectation in return. You wonder why their existence is not so essential to your well-being. It’s because they don’t make you work hard for the attention they give you. They accept the love they think they’ve earned and you accepted the love you think you’re entitled to. Let me tell you something. Fear the day when a good heart gives up on you. Our skies don’t become grey out of no where. Our sunshine does not allow the darkness to take over for no reason. A heart does not turn cold unless it’s been treated with coldness for a while.
