What’s a moment in your life that made you feel truly alive?
Every time I decide to be in the present, I feel truly alive.
Most of my life, I have lived in fantasy because I was too scared to face reality. As a kid, it is easier to stray into a limbo most of the time than live. I did live, but most of the time I was daydreaming.
Since I have finally decided to be in reality, I have seen and learnt different lessons. But the last two years, I have been more independent, and that has also made me feel more alive.
I do not want to be a burden on anyone or be someone who has not allowed others, my parents, to fulfil their dreams because they were too busy raising me. A responsibility they chose for themselves.
I always wanted them to be happy. Since I have been independent, I see how my moving away has made me free of that thought process of being a burden somehow.
