It's been a while since I have actually blogged anything.
In the past year, I have learnt that you really are on this earth to make the world a better place not only for myself but for the others around you.
As I was reading my last post, I realized how different my mindset was back then.
I've grown up.
Now, I know I have a lot of more growing up to do but I'm glad I have come this far.

I turned eighteen this year.
I had a fantastic party with the people I love and now call my family.
They're an amazing bunch of friends who helped make me the person I am today. A girl with an actual genuine smile who wakes up everyday with a goal in life to help people all around the world. Emotionally of course.
This year itself I've saved two people's lives and met one of the most caring person I have ever met. Someone who really loves me for who I am. Someone who wants to put a smile on my face whenever possible. Someone who watches my back even when there isn't a need to. Someone who knows me and feels the pain I feel when I am sad not because of anything but because it hurts for him to see me sad. That's what I call LOVE.
Thing is though, what is love?

I have also made another big step in my life this year by applying to university. It doesn't sound like such a big thing really. Not even when I remember thinking about it six months ago. I thought it would be just like filling up any application form. This was until I realized how important this choice impacted my life.
It really IS a BIG DEAL.
Applying to Deakin Universtiy and RMIT in Melbourne was nothing compared to choosing which university offer to accept after getting conditional offers from both. I want be able to make sure that I won't make a decision I would regret later on. Then I start thinking to myself...
If I prayed and asked the Holy Spirit within me which University I should choose, I'd get an answer in a matter of seconds.
The dilemma is that the answer isn't the one I actually wanted.

So the next step in life is moving to another country. Away from my friends and my family whom I love so much to a country with distant friends and family. Can't say I'm complaining since others have it worse off than I do but it's still going to be scary. I have never really been alone away from my family since I was born. I'm gonna miss them.
I'll make a promise to everyone out there that I'll continue posting on my blog.
It's really been a while...
It doesn't end here.
