Lost Again


"Have you ever felt like there is no solace in anything, like, wherever you turn, you're just lost?"
~ Felicity Porter (Felicity)

That's exactly how I felt when I was back in Melbourne the previous time.

Every. Single. Day.

Then I decided to hop on a plane back to Malaysia for a break.

To breath, and reboot. As I called it.

It was an incredible 5 weeks. I stopped crying, and learned to laugh again.

Being with him made me feel safe.

In the bigger picture of life, I was still lost. I still didn't know what my next step is, I still couldn't figure out a clear direction that I should be heading towards, I still didn't know what the heck I'm going to do with myself.

But even so, I felt safe. In his arms.

I came back to Melbourne 5 weeks later with a much lighter luggage, but a little more courage and optimism.

I knew that I still didn't have things all figured out, but I felt a little braver this time round.

I was prepared to give it another go, believing that even if that doesn't go well, I was prepared to be more forgiving on myself.

Until I woke up this morning, good feelings are gone.

And the same feeling is back.

I am lost.

Once again.

I guess you must find your passion, a goal or more goals. Or maybe start making babies. :) Hehe

Pick it up and be strong sweetie. I know it is easier said than done, but the worst enemy is always our own self.

Dont push yourself too hard, gal. It's only the matter of time. Take a small step at a time.

Be encouraged, taking the first step is always the hardest. But once you have decided what to do, there will be no turning back...

Che-Cheh: I honestly think it's not only selfish but also irresponsible to bring a new life into a world when I myself am so unsure of my own direction in life. I don't even know what to do with myself, let alone look after another person.

Prettybeautiful: It's possible, but it's also an option that I would prefer to avoid if I could help it. There are just too many things that I hate about the country that the thought of settling there for long term makes me cringe.

Doreen: Then I seem to be too strong an enemy for myself that victory simply feels like something impossible.

Emotionalistic: I don't know where my next step should be, however small it is.

Sdovelly: That sounds scary.
