I wasn't always like this

  I wasn't like this....   I wasn’t always the girl who pulls back to protect her peace. I wasn’t always the one who kept certain parts of herself guarded. The one who loved quietly, who cared deeply but on her own terms. The one who now sets boundaries  even in friendships.  No, this version of me was shaped by life. Shaped by experiences I never asked for. Shaped by being misunderstood more times than I can count. Shaped by the way I used to give and give, until I was left empty, confused, and quietly hurting. Most people don’t know that part. They see me now a little distant sometimes, a little slower to trust, a little quieter when something hurts and they think I’m cold or uninterested. That I’ve built walls. That I don’t care the way they expect me to.  But what they don’t see… is everything I’ve survived.

The choice to live a hard life rather than a comfortable life was something that couldn't be conveyed before moving to Australia.  Despite the fact that I made the decision on my own, I still have to carry out all of the steps by myself. I didn't enter this life overseas alone; I had my friend as a travelling companion. We both made the decision to leave our families in order to study and pursue higher education in order to eventually realise our ambitions. When you are so devoted to your lovely, adoring, and supportive family, it is difficult to fathom living without them.  Since you've never left your parents before, being the youngest member of the family you can understand leaving them. Dad initially opposed this difficult choice, but my persistence eventual...
