Hi there,
How are you guys doing out there? I am fine, even though my hormone now is just like roller-coaster! hehehe..But I am glad my data collection is done now. It’s time to finish my transcribing and key-in the data. Next step will be analyzing! Scary part..but the most scary part is the writing part. gggrrr…
I feel much better now. I read self-help books and did some reflection on what am I doing and who i am? Remember last time, I was so down, nervous, etc..I guess I have to believe that I am doing my PhD and I have to be focused and serious about what I do. Not to say that I wasn’t serious last time, but I had this feeling, ‘i don’t believe I am in London, and doing my PhD’. I have to have a strong belief system and will face any problems. I have to move on progressively.
I met so many people when I did my data collection. I know that I should be thankful for what Allah determined and given to me. I shouldn’t be afraid of the problems, afraid of being lonely, or afraid not to be up to the my or others’ expectations. I shouldn’t put too high expectation on myself because I should remember I have limits. There is no point for me to push myself too hard till I feel so down. I can push myself to achieve my goals in life. I should be grateful for every second that I have! I am not perfect!
Compare me now and last time or in between last time and now, I’ve changed a lot. I started to think negative and think that I have to think about others. This happened after my first heartbreaking. After that, I learnt I shouldn’t be controlled by others. That is not what I want. There is no such thing controlling others’ life. In human relationships, we should compromise and talk and talk. A relationship is about two parties who want to live together. I don’t want to be controlled BUT I want to be reminded about my life, about my mistakes, and about everything.
Anyway..I just want to let you know that Emma is back from the darkness. I still believe, for whatever happens, there is always good thing behind it.
I am tired now. Will write again. Take care and hope to hear from you again.
Love always~Emma xx.
