It's me again

Not sure if you guys enjoy me writing about my inner thoughts as much as what I'm staying busy with but it sure helps me. Discussing our feelings is what we typically hide from others but maybe I can turn this into a lesson instead of drawn out expression of emotion. Lesson 1: Missing loved ones. You ever felt lonely in a room full of people? I hadn't until I became the foreigner with the accent. I feel many international students could agree that an experience overseas would be much more practical if you had someone to share it with. That is what I feel I am missing. To cope with missing my friends and family, I am learning to relish in the aloneness; learn more about myself. I spend lots of time outside and out of my room to occupy my mind, plus fresh air is always worthwhile. Spending time with all my friends here definitely helps; there is never a dull moment with them. I do not regret coming all this way alone, I believe I am adding to my character, expanding my comfort zone and becoming more brave. When you practice independence, you're able to achieve more and gain knowledge from experience. Stay true to yourself, listen to your body and surround yourself with good people. Though I sometimes feel alone, I am still very blessed to be here in Darwin and don't believe I should be anywhere else than right here.
