34

This year, my new age is celebrated not in my homeland, but far far away. In a territory where everything is new and unfamiliar. But, at the same time, it creates some kind of space to contemplate and redefine perspectives. At this point, I'm truly grateful for everything I've been through. Cheers to 34!

1. Acknowledge your privilege.

2. A change in life is extremely uncomfortable. But that's the only way to move forward.

3. Never forget your roots, where you come from, and what principles remain relevant for you.

4. Be yourself. Even in the most unfamiliar circumstances.

5. Protect your energy. Spend it wisely.

6. Never too late to learn something. What stops us is mostly our own imaginary fear.

7. A little progress is progress. (context: me working on my term papers)

8. Be with people who are happy when you are happy, and support you when you are down.

9. In the context of human relationships, not knowing is a blessing for me.

10. There's one sentence my bf always said when I feel uncomfortable because of some people: "Gita, you'll never meet them again. Why bother thinking about them."

11. Honesty is absolute and essential.

12. Recently, I like taking videos to document my life. Turns out it's hard!

13. Maybe, start eliminating some worst scenarios? I realise most of them, in my case, did not happen, while I already sucked up and was drained by my overthinking.

14. It feels liberating when you are in a place where you can be whatever you want.

15. Be on the right side of history.

16. I just realised I like winter more than summer.
