It's a new year. A new start, a new chapter in life. I'm moving out (well, sort of.. temporarily anyway) from home.
I can't believe I'm actually leaving now. Never dreamed that it would be this soon. After all these years of studying in school, then it was college and now I'm going to university.
I'm honestly going to miss Penang. So many memories here, growing up. Everything I care about, everyone I care about, almost everything I know is here in Penang and in Malaysia. But I'm going to leave it all.
At first, there weren't any positive feelings about leaving. All I could think of was about how I'd miss everyone here, how I'd survive there; and I worried about drowning there. :(
But now, after some thought and after time's wonders, I'm actually excited to leave for Australia in some ways.
I'm happy to leave Penang, to leave some baggage back here. To escape and not take it with me. Although a lot of it is still in my heart, I hope that leaving my home will be a symbol of my leaving all the heartaches, disappointments, bad memories and frustrations here too. Buried deep. I want to start anew there, with a clean sheet. I want to be free, and I want to let go of all the burdens weighing me down.
However, I am still very afraid to actually start my program and courses there. Because I know the first few weeks abroad and having to adapt to the new surroundings there are going to be the hardest things to do. I''ll definitely miss my family and friends back here. But I know I will also find new ones there.
I just don't know how I'm going to project myself there, to the people and to the church. My past might have certain impacts on some and might influence their perspectives of me back here. But over there, no one would know about all you've been through, not unless you tell them.
Sometimes, I fret and worry about going there, having to be independent and learn new things all by myself. I know I have God with me, and I know that the church I'm going to is one that can help me grow, but somehow, without family there to support and guide you, it's a whole new world.
Other times, I'm honestly glad that I'm leaving. To be frank, thinking about sad history or sad situations just makes me want to leave all the more. Because I'm human too, and I want to run away from things and circumstances I cannot change.
It's going to be tough, and I'm still in the process of mentally preparing myself for this departure. To leave behind everyone and everything I've known my whole life. To be apart from everyone I care about now, for once.
Before I leave, I hope I will be able to say this with full conviction: I'm ready.
