The very first news I received this morning was that I have been issued a UK Visa.
Next step is to book my tickets. So this is finally happening. I am going to England to pursue the first year of my medical studies. It is not as rushed as it feels but it still leaves my heart throbbing. Every time that happens I tell myself that if my heart throbs then there is a risk involved and nothing great in life can be achieved without a risk.
There are so many things that I have learnt in the past one year.
Time is money. I have wasted a lot of my time doing nothing or just staying idle beyond the point of relaxation. There were times when I complained about the lack of number of hours in a day but if I see it from a different perspective, I have a lot of time in my hand.. I just need to learn to use it wisely.
People are always the same, we just choose to be blind to their follies. There was a time when I would say that people change but now that I think of it that it is only the situations that change and hence, people's priorities. When I felt the love of some of my so-called love and family, it was because that was the most convenient thing for them to do. But when situation changed, I got to see their true self.
I can go on and on about the things I learnt but I'd rather focus on the present and the future rather than dig up graves from the past. I am happy because I am making efforts now. Because instead of running blindly I took a break to reflect and see my progress and this has helped me to actually move further in life and towards my goal. Things may not have gone as I once desired but things aren't that bad either. I need to believe in myself because now I am doing the best I can.
P.S.
