One year later

About a year ago, I was at a really low point of my life. Everything felt so meaningless and I woke up everyday, wanting to burst into tears. A good friend of mine decided to help me change my life. I made a big decision and stepped into a different world. A world where everyone are really smart and competition is stiff. A world where everyone judges you on every little step that you take. There were many moments in the past year when I felt like giving up, felt disillusion and disappointed with myself. Everything was so different in this new world and there were so many times, I simply wanted to crawl under my blanket and hide. I still suffer from such attacks but I have come to accept them as part and parcel of this road I have chosen to take.

Today, I received news that I will have greater challenges ahead waiting for me. As much as I feel happy and excited, a part of me wants to crawl under that blanket and never come out. But I do not suppose I will see very much of the world under my blanket so I have chosen to continue bravely down the road. I do not know how much longer I will continue in this direction but I know I want to give it my best shot. At least, I can see myself going somewhere now! Thank you everyone of you for your kind encouragement and support in the past year. I will strive towards excellence.

(i feel like burrowing into the comfort of my duvet too... in fact, all the time... it's a scary world out there... but it's rather dark underneath and i am scared of darkness... so i guess we have to be brave... or learn to be)
