Some Things Just Aren't Made For You

You know how sometimes, you wake up in the morning to realize there is yet another long day ahead of you?

Then you get out of bed, heave that sigh with an incredible amount of effort, and then move on to the toilet to clean yourself up. While listening to the running water gushing out from the tap, you look at yourself in the mirror, and then you look down again.

Today was different for me. I did not just look into the mirror. When I looked into the mirror, that image in the mirror, that same old bloke I've been staring at for the past 18 years, couldn't recognize me anymore.

The image smiled back. And I knew, my world was perfect.

It has been 8 months since I've started my journey here in Melbourne. And this 8 months have proven to be turbulent at times and otherwise coated in a thick layer of tranquility. Like Melbourne's weather, life here is to two extremes.

It's either you wake up, get out of bed to a miserable and exhausting day.

Or, you wake up, get out of bed, and embark on an exciting journey like never before.

But this all ends up to be your own choice now, right?

Choose to live life to the best, and see things in a brighter way, and the world looks all cool and good to you.

We don't have to be sad and miserable and crappy all the time. We can choose.

And I know I've made the right choice. For once, in my life. =)
