After coming back to Melbourne, I discovered more beauty in the small and simple things in life that can never be brought or sold. If I had a choice, I would make my world beautiful and live in it like a doll in a doll house. I have been doing just that, decorating my new home with floral patterns and soft white linen. There is a green lush tree outside my window that smiles at me each day. I had found my happiness, and I am very lucky indeed.<\/p>\n<p>I am honestly sick with my old life. I wish never to return to it again. I hated living a lie. It was everything I was not. I never felt accepted or appreciated for who I was. I never felt belonged. I always felt I dropped out from outer space and landed on the wrong place. I was misunderstood for a quarter of my life, and I am going to put an end to it all, for I can plan what I want for myself for the next three quarters of my life ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Here, I feel belonged. I feel safe. I feel appreciated. I feel beautiful. I feel that the world is waiting for me, and I don&#8217;t have to chase or fight for anything. I can stay in my shell and know that when I come out I will not be harmed.<\/p>\n<p>I will be revamping this site soon to start afresh on a new note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am currently in a very happy and contented state of my life that I wish would go on forever in a place where we belong.
