Self Reflection #Here'sToSelf-love

Emotionally, it's been really difficult for me. This term, I focused a lot on myself emotionally because it was the most important thing I needed to improve on. I realized that I'm stronger than I believe I am and that I'm fairly mature for my age. I literally felt every emotion being in this college since I arrived in Singapore; I regret coming to Singapore when my MOE was accepted, at the same time I'm pleased I had this time since it has been the most valuable lesson I have ever learned. My character has entirely changed since my freshman year of college. I was never a quiet and shy child; instead, I have always been a loud, active, and chirpy one.

Now I sit quietly in class, without mingling with anyone, because my peers are too preoccupied with themselves to notice if someone needs a friend or someone to talk to. I wish my pals who were stranded in India owing to Covid limitations had been able to come; things would have been a lot better for them than they were for me. It wasn't as bad as it sounds; I had friends outside of college, but most all, I had myself... All the while, the level of motivation I gave myself to get rid of all the negativity in my head was more than enough for me. Of course, there were days when I wished I was at home with my family, friends, and the people who made me feel loved, but the only person who knew what I was going through was myself, and that was my strength.

After your parents, you have the best chuckle. Self-love is love. This is something I felt and it gave me everything I needed to overcome my own loneliness and thoughts. Somewhere along the way, I learned that 'things will not always go your way, there are many different sorts of people in the world, and that's okay.'

Here's to self-acceptance.
