I really appreciate it. I'm still 'finding myself' and it will be a long & difficult process. However, I'm going to do my best to believe in myself. Thanks to everyone for their advice.

It's inevitable. But you have to ask yourself this: "Do you feel right about the change?" It's one thing to realise that a change has occured but is it the change you want? Do you feel it has made u a better person? If yes, then thumbs up! but if no, you should then initiate change for the better. Btw, about my blog, I know it hasn't been moving..haha..it will, just give it a bit more time. I myself went through a bit of thinking and realised I had to make my way back to Malaysia (just arrived 5 days ago). The move to Shanghai was fantastic but it wasn't the right choice...not now anyways. Shame we didn't get to meet. Maybe one day! The thing is yea, people change. It’s inevitable.

In my opinion, if you change and the people or things around you move to catch up with you, they are worth keeping in your life. If they try to hold you back ... it's up to you to decide :no: people change, you change. changes is ever constant and inevitable .. and at times easier than standing still.

All I can say is that as human beings, we react differently and tend to adapt when we are placed in new environments. Hence, you may find some changes in your personality and character. Although it is hard for you to notice it yourself (because change is gradual), your friends back home may notice it because they haven't seen you in a while. Hence the change from your current self from the past will be more 'drastic' in that sense. Whatever it is, just be yourself. We go through good changes and bad changes in life. But your 'personality change' seems harmless. So there is nothing to worry about. :) Well, as you have travelled to a different country into a whole new environment, it may affect you into changing into the person you are now.

But I believe there's something at the core of your personality that makes you, you. This doesn't change. It may have been overwhelmed or hidden by periods of adaptation or drastic change like teenage years or going abroad, but one's essence remains. Just be yourself. Don't let the past taunt you. You need to be at ease with the present 'you', look back at your past 'you' to learn from it and shape your future 'you'. Now, that's a lot of babbling from my part. I know well it's easier said than done. So, look at the positive sides and believe in yourself as you did in the past :grin: We all change throughout life.

That creates worry/anxiety/lack of confidence, right? Accept those changes because there will always be changes and they are irresistable. I don't think anyone is obliged to remain unchanged for the 'good old days' he/she once had. Be strong and all will pass, just like a walk by.

When I moved in with my aunt, she used to tell me that regular "examens de conscience" were important to understand one's position in life. Little did I understand at that time, I was probably 11 years old, but over the years I've found her advice to be invaluable. Every night before I sleep, I lie in bed thinking about the day, the good, the bad and the lessons to be learned. A very sincere post.
