My Dilemma in a nutshell

Hello, Welcome Back!

I hope you had a splendid week and enjoying your weekend. How was my week? Glad you asked :) It's been a roller coaster and feeling so torn by the decisions I have to make for the trip. There are still no confirmed cases in Myanmar but I will be entering Singapore and Brisbane so I have to be extra-cautious when travelling.

A friend of mine joked about how I should be more scared of the flying bullets because I am going to conflict zones. On top of that, my family has been living in a conflict area for many years and they are more concerned with the virus and suggesting me to postpone my visit. I have been daydreaming a lot about this big trip and mentally preparing myself for the big reunion with my family so can you feel my frustration here? 

My initial plan is to get a job after Uni and maybe plan the trip at the end of this year. I tried to put my feeling aside and ignored my homesickness. I threw myself into work and studies in order to avoid homesickness. It worked for a period of time, but after I graduated end of last year, my desire to come home grew stronger and I cried almost every day to the point I got sick of myself.

Coming back home has always been on my bucket list and it was such a relief when I decided that I am going to fulfil that dream and make it happen. I am still very excited and nervous at the same time to see my family again. Back in Uni, my friends used to say 'I am going home to see my family' during trimester breaks, but it hits different now that I am the one saying it and arhhh it is so comforting 🥰🥰🥰. Hahaha! As you can see, I am all over the place right now. Your girl is a mess! What would you do if you were in my place? 

P.s I am sending out prayers to those who are infected with the virus as well as safety for healthcare workers 

Thank you so much for taking your time and reading this. Stay safe.

 

Take Care xoxo,July
