Ever since the move to Germany, I have been embarking on a journey of learning. A journey of Iearning a new language, how to cook, swim, write, and how to drive again. No one knows if I would be picking up these skills if I were still living in my comfort zone, namely my beloved Singapore. My guess is most probably not. I would be too contented and comfortable that I wouldn't have the courage to get out of the rut to venture. Being in a new country must have given me the liberty and independence to start all over again.
To be able to discover my passion of writing through blogging and subsequently listen to the burning desire to do more in this department is a blessing. A blessing to not let fear hold me back and for me to work towards my dreams. One step closer to my dreams is a recently published article about my relationship with food and homesickness while living abroad. It is a topic which I have been wanting to write about for a long time but I am the queen of procrastination. I finally put my foot down and began to work on it. Upon completion, I submitted it and waited in agony for two long weeks. The reply finally came that it would be published on POSKOD and I couldn't believe my eyes for a few seconds. I was stoked! I wanted to scream, jump and dance! I wanted to tell the whole world about it! I was beyond words! (Okay, enough of exclamation marks)
There might be some who think it's no big deal but there are many more people out there who know it is a big deal to me and who are truly glad and happy for me. I am very thankful for them and you know who you are. :)
