Changes Made with the Move

You know, I've changed a lot since I moved to Australia. Some changes I like, and some... Well, not so much. Of course, the obvious things changed: my accent, the words I use (awesome, u suck), never used those in Malaysia. The things I do are different. Like, I don't reread books as much because there are libraries to borrow more books from. In Malaysia, I just reread the books I already had on my shelf, there was not library to borrow books from. I also realize all the things I there that I don't have now. I appreciate stuff way more now. I think a lot more too. But I guess that might be because I'm um. Growing up. I'm listening to more music. I'm also more open. That's good. I guess. But I'm still pretty closed up. I think. Sometimes. Also, my happiness has become wayyyyy way wayyy too dependant on the people around me. That's bad, I think. And I've been trying to please everyone. Which is dumb. Cos it's not possible. In fact, trying to please everyone might be the reason people aren't pleased. If that makes sense.Now, I just need to learn to be less dependant and be joyful on my own. And not get happy or unhappy according to the things that happen. oooooooooooooookay. Oh! My English has gotten better too. If I may say so myself. AND I get to do cool arts like Ceramics and Textiles, instead of just painting. Why do are Arts plural? Erica
