Why are people never satisfied with what they have? I’m guilty of it myself. Having moved to and fro Melbourne so many times I am arguably the most indecisive person ever. It is tiring – settling in and trying to build a new life every time I move. I also realise that at 24, time is not exactly on my side. Each year spent in a different country is not helping me grow my career, nor is it helping me find stable ground. This indecisiveness has got to stop before it ruins all the good things I am fortunate enough to have in my life. For now, the only reason I would pack my bags and move again is if it means moving up the corporate ladder.
While ranting to Rach the other day we both realise that there has been a string of events that were happening to us consecutively. Unfortunate and overwhelming events that will possibly change us, make us a kinder and better person and at the end of the day, give us belief and hope that we can and will rise above all this to be a stronger individual. For the longest time I have spent so much energy and effort on things I cannot change, and it took a great deal of confusion, self-doubt, alcohol and one too many lessons to finally realise that ultimately, the only person we can change is ourselves. And that, I suppose, is just part of growing up.
