REDEFINITION

I don't know what this is about but I'm just going to write (well, type) with the flow. On March 3, 2010, it was exactly a year that I came to the United States. Believe me, this one year has not been an easy task. I went from being an independent and carefree spirit to someone that is caged and can only see freedom from a distance. I know my freedom is near, I can feel it. My life has been on pause since I came to this country and it's time for me to stop existing and start living.

I never thought I'd survive this new environment for a whole year, and when I think of the months I still have to spend in this cocoon I'm trapped in, I still wonder if I'd survive. I know I have to and I know I will.

Amongst other things, this one year was a time for me to rediscover myself and try to figure out who this girl really is. It was a time for me to see myself in isolation from all the factors I was used to having around me. In this year, I've learnt to be more patient, work on my quick temper and not let people get to me. I still miss the huge chunk of me that is in hibernation and that I left behind, but this year has made me discover other parts of me. I know that by the time this discovery process is over, I would find the hibernating parts of me. This is a time for me to redefine myself and the new me is definitely going to stun you . . .
