MY “NEW YEAR RESOLUTION” FOR 2018 WAS TO MAKE SH*T HAPPEN! IF I REALLY WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH A GOAL, WHETHER IT WAS READING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BOOKS, OR GOING TO AN EVENT SUCH AS THE CURLFEST IN BROOKLYN (WHICH I ATTENDED), I MADE INTO A REALITY.
ANOTHER PART OF THAT RESOLUTION WAS TO FINALLY MOVE FORWARD AND START BUILDING MY CAREER. I TOOK THE STEPS, AND DECIDED TO BEGIN IN THE HEART OF ASIA, TAIWAN. THIS WOULD BE MY FIRST TIME ANYWHERE IN ASIA. THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND ABOUT TAIWAN WAS, RICH CULTURE AND SWEET PEOPLE (WHICH THEY HAVE). I CAN SEE WHY IT’S THE HEART OF ASIA.
I WAS EXCITED WHEN I ARRIVED IN TAIWAN. BUT IT WAS FAR FROM EASY TO ADJUST, ESPECIALLY FINANCIALLY.
I WAS SO READY TO MOVE FORWARD, THAT I IGNORED SOME REALITIES, ONE BEING THAT I HAD LITTLE SAVINGS. I DIDN’T THINK ABOUT MY SAVINGS, I WAS JUST READY TO MOVE ON.
THANKFULLY, I HAD MY FAMILY’S HELP, LOVE AND SUPPORT. THEY SAW WHAT I REALLY WANTED. BUT I REALIZED THAT MY ACTIONS WERE SELFISH. IT’S EMBARASSING TO ADMIT BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BE SELFISH, OR SEEN AS A SPOILED BRAT. I’M MORE THAN GRATEFUL THAT I’M STILL HERE IN TAIWAN, AND I HAVE MY OWN MONEY AND A BIGGER SAVINGS BUT PLEASE, DON’T BE SELFISH LIKE I WAS.
P.S- THIS POST IS NEEDED TO SHOW EVERYONE THAT THE TRAVELING PROCESS ISN’T ALWAYS HEAVENLY.
