Life has its challenges but as you tackle each problem and overcome them, it's satisfying. I'm a global nomad, that's what they call people like me who don't grow up where they have been born and live in a country after a country. People ask me what culture do I relate to, yes Chinese but also English, Sri Lankan, Italian, Malaysian, European, Nonya, there are so many.
What I want most is to be loved and appreciated. Where I feel that, I feel at home. But it requires effort, you have to give the best of yourself I think. Be positive, up building, helpful, patient. Years have gone by and I really feel happier now than I ever been before. The game changer for me was to learn to love people and take the initiative to reach out to them. I'm made so many nice friends on Facebook, total strangers on the other side of the world, just amazing, to think of it.
I even get to practice my Italian with a person from Italy who is quite dedicated to liking my posts. So nice of her, one of my biggest supporters. How we all want to be liked and appreciated. Such as essential need. To make others laugh, that's awesome!
