I travelled to meet my birth parents for the first time, they live in a small town in the Philippines. The ways of life there is totally different from what I’m used to, I can’t speak nor understand their language. It’s quite frustrating and I can’t wait to leave.
plan a routine and try getting into a habit of following it everyday. Do something new, that makes you use your brain differently. Doing the same things everyday kind of makes one bored, and so one feels there’s not much in life. Learning or doing something new will make you feels there’s a lot in life and there actually is a lot to do. Look and feel and start practicing. Forget the past and see what has your past made you today. A BETTER PERSON. You are not going to do it to others, in fact you have to be a person that people enjoy the company of. Be better than those who hurt you, even if someone hurts again, immune yourself to it, and don’t feel the hurt. GO! Live a life where you help people and be a better person.
I was completely alone and on my own during my stay in Singapore. I’ve always being someone who enjoyed their space more than anything. Of course I also enjoy having friends and going out, but at the end of the day, I would prefer to come home and have the place to myself. So, how did I deal with the isolation? I loved it. It was freeing. I had no obligations to anyone else. I could go out and do whatever I wanted, as late as I wanted, without having to take anyone else into consideration. This was during my first four years in Singapore, and was easily the happiest four years of my life. I also never really felt a lack of belongingness. I felt comfortable right away. I felt like I fit in better than I did when I moved from Kentucky to Boston. Despite being an American, I felt more comfortable in Japan than I ever did down south. Before moving to Singapore, I worried that the people there may not like me. But that wasn’t the case at all. People were very friendly. I’m an outsider, yes, but usually treated like a guest. And I honestly prefer it that way. It gives me more freedom and I’m not expected to follow all the stifling social rules.
