Hi Anita and all
Hope all is well!
I am back from my two months backpacking trip and thanks for the advice last time, it was very useful to me especially when you said the moment that I stay misery is a life lost, and i totally agree to it.
I was expecting my 3 days local tour in Bolivia when I left a message to you, and it turned out that my tour was the best tour in my own trip, I have met some very good tour-mates and it’s an amazing.
Good that i didn’t give up =)
Anyways, I am back home now, landed two days ago, still find the contrast so hugh, and still consolidating my learning throughout the trip.
I still have episodes of bad memories coming up during and after the trip, I am not sure if i have fully recovered, but one thing i am sure is I am certainly proud of myself having done this. I even can feel myself very fit and a lot more muscular since I have been carrying heavy loads very often =)
Thanks Anita, take good care until we talk again

Dear Anita and all

Good to come back again, this time not to vent out, but to share my recent life after I came back home.

After I came back I am very at ease with myself, I haven’t been at state for like, 2 years i guess? There are still times when I get frustrated, irriated, angry or negative in general, but I realized I let these go so much quicker than i did before. I even let go of negative people in my life, and if i really need to interact with any of them, i take things very lightly. I remember when Anita said every minute of life ruminating over these negative things that happened in life, is a life lost, and this has really stuck in my mind.

and I also realized, the only way that I can contribute back to my friends and families, is to be a very healthy and happy person. I know how I have been spreading positivty to my friends now, they noticed how I have changed, they noticed how I have become very happy about things in life, and that I begin to reach out to friends who are in distress and in having a difficult time.

I think because i needed to climb back up from the bottom, I have accumulated so much wisdom that I was either told, or I discovered in life, and that has made me very resistance to upsetting events in life in general.

and I realized, I have grown so much after this. and now, everyday seems to be a day to celebrate. I am very grateful for what I have in life.

I found that really miraculous. I will try to continue to keep up with it =)

Talk again

Cheers
