Wake up and Live.

I am so happy here.

Words can't describe how happy I am to be in UK.

North Wales is beautiful. The fresh air is great. The food is so good. My senses have never been so alive. The people are mostly great. College is absolutely amazing. The education system is a dream. It's a different culture, so different yet so alike from what I've seen in movies. You meet different people from different backgrounds. You get exposed. You socialise. You learn. You grow.

Most importantly, you live. 

Just one thing, I don't get why people are looking forward to see me miserable. Yes, I know I might be overreacting and behaving like a drama queen and it sounds absolutely horrible when I put it that way but honestly, most people are just waiting to hear that I'm homesick and want to go back. (A couple of them are betting I'd balloon up in the winter as well). Dad says it's because it has usually been like that for decades. They live with the mentality that once people go abroad to study, they will miss home like crazy, lose their appetite, lock the doors of the room and bawl their eyes out. Probably losing the will to live for a few months in the process. You're in a new country. Explore, learn, live. Frankly, if you're not going to take a step out to venture into the world and if you're not going to fill the chapters of your life with memories, you're really wasting your time and your parents' money.

Here's the deal though, I'm not homesick and don't want to go back home at the moment.

I do miss my family, loved ones and my friends and the food back home. I just don't talk or think about it because there is absolutely no point in moping about when there's so much for you to explore and learn. There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy. The reasons for one to be happy outweighs the reasons not to be.

And there's that saying that goes "The world is your oyster". It's time to wake up and live.
