Of Ends & New Beginnings

Eleven months ago I was about 20% suicidal. A lot has happened since then.

Graduated just three days ago. It was really very emotional for me because I never really thought I'd make it this far. I'm actually a doctor now can you believe it?

Many years ago I wrote something about myself that I felt made perfect sense. & it really has this past year; "If anyone were to fall for me, I daresay it wouldn't be for my looks, but rather the way they get to be themselves when they're with me."

I have learnt so many things this year. A lot more than I have in a while. I've learnt not to judge anyone solely on the way they look, because even the ones most displeasing to the eyes have qualities about them which you cannot help but to love and admire.

If anything, or if something is meant for you, you will have it somehow. You may have to walk through hell and back to get it, but it will be yours for the taking if that's what God has decided.

My religion and spiritual life is for no one to talk about except me. I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be religious and what it means to be spiritual. I may not go to church religiously every Sunday. I may not say grace before every meal or thank God for the day He's given me before I sleep every night, but I know deep down that I am who I am and I am where I am because of Him. There are days I may be so disconnected from God that I feel lost. But there will always be days after that where I know he has picked me up again. I do not fear about my future. I know I have decisions to make, and I know in due time what those choices will be.

I know the kind of person I have become. I no longer tolerate people who don't bring me peace or happiness. Everyone has flaws. I have flaws. But I know when I am wrong. Anyone who does not, has no place in my heart. And I have let so many go because of that. I am a lot lighter because of it. I no longer tolerate people who are not honest about their feelings for me. I'm tired of being used, played and kept as an option. There is a limit to my kindness.

I don't allow anything to upset me for very long. I might think about it for a day or two, then tell myself to let it go. Most days it is easier said than done. Some days I relapse. But I am almost always at peace because of it.

It feels like the year just started and here it is coming to an end. Next year will bring a whole new set of challenges which I'm bracing myself to face. As much as I'm independent and capable of taking care of myself, I'm hoping that in the coming year I will also finally meet my other half. My heart is ready.

My heart is ready.

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London. I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots. My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car. It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still. After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within the Dubai Mal
