i believe that people grow stronger through experiencing difficulties. 吃的苦中苦，方为人上/中人。and i guess...this must have been in-grained into me by my parents. mom gave me the chinese phrase again today. obviously, the road ahead is tough and challenging. obviously it will be something out of my comfort zone. obviously i will feel sad to leave my friends and family and worry about my safety and ability to cope in a different country.
But that all fades into the background when i see this as an opportunity to grow, to stike out on my own (with help and support), to test my abilities and to prove to myself and people around me what i know i am capable of.
In the face of uncertainty and maybe adversity, will i still be grace even under pressure? Will i stand for what i believe? Be the best i can be? Can i make it in this world? Will i be able to pick myself up after a fall and carry on? Will i still have my friends beside me after long absences? So many questions which may be never be answered if i do not step out of my comfort zone.
i am so afraid, but i know what i must do and why. Because i want to grow, because i dont want to remain stagnant at where i am now, because i know this will be good for me- career and personal-life wise. i want to be a strong woman, like my mother, like my grandmother.
Yihui, relationships dont fail, its people that do. I will try my best not to fail our relationship because i love you and cherish all that we have and all that we will have in the future.
