Melbourne- The city that shaped me.

This story is dedicated to Melbourne. I always thought moving out from my comfort zone was a scary act. Well, the truth is... It is scary, but sometimes it creates the most beautiful story. Melbourne made me realize that I'm a strong woman and also, showed me how independent I can be. Apart from new friends, I had no one in that city to rely on. I had to adjust with the new environment, cope with studies and deal with depression. There were times I felt life was unfair, and I pitied myself. Self-pity isn't something good. Thus, I woke up and decided to accept the reality. I accepted that I'm left alone miles away from loved ones. I accepted that only I can cure my depression. I accepted that I can only rely on myself during the darkest times. Along the new journey, I met wonderful people. They made me see how beautiful life can be. For my own goodness, I avoided negativity and stayed away from people who weren't helping me. Studying in one of the world's top universities made me feel blessed. At Monash uni, lecturers saw my capability, and their encouraging words became my motivation. Isn't it amazing to know that you are more worthy and precious when there were people who thought you were not capable of anything? It is truly amazing. Slowly, I started realizing that moving to a new place isn't a bad idea or isn't as scary as it seems to be. It can give you a life-changing experience and turn you into a better person. Dear Melbourne, you will always stay in my heart and will be one of the reasons for my growth in life. You showed me 'the real me'. You showed me that my decisions aren't that bad after all. You showed me that I should do what's best for myself. Now, I guess that's why I would wanna fly higher and travel more. And, I'm ready for the next journey.

Dear readers, 

Never be afraid to fly high. You may fall but you will get up and fly higher.

Have a lovely evening :)
