Sometimes I forget how happy I am.
Actually, my parents didn’t want to let me study abroad but they always support and cheer me up. I’m happy to study English because I’m blessed with a good environment and have exposure to English every day.
Also I’m happy that I found a job and can earn money. I have a share house to live in and my share mates are all very kind. I’ve been living in Cairns safely, there is no war.
I’m having the time of my life right now, it’s my turn.
Everything happens for a reason.
Live without regret, be happy and enjoy life.

Hi Marina, what a great post! You really uplifted me and helped me to focus on the positive and amazing things in my life. Good on you for coming to Australia and having such a wonderful experience. By the way, our media is putting lots of focus on terrorist attacks…what are the chances of being involved in one? Very low, I expect! You keep enjoying your life and focusing on what’s important and good. By the way, thank you for sharing your BMI presentation with me. Krystyna 🙂
Hi Marina!! I’m always looking forward to your posts and I also enjoy reading them. Sometimes I forget how happy I am, because I think it’s normal to live safely, be able to get something I want, especially in Japan. I didn’t realize how happy I am until leaving my country. Your article reminds me that I should be thankful for everything that surrounds me and enjoy my life. Thank you.
