Every beginning comes to an end, or is it every ending comes new beginning?

Hello everyone!!
I'm sorry I haven't been updating my blog for some time as I was slightly busy finishing February and starting March.

How did your month ended for you? All well?
I had one of the best ending to the month of February I can ever imagine given my current situation.
My best friend, Evelyn, who is currently studying in University of Sheffield came to Portsmouth to visit me.
We had some awesome time together visiting neighbouring cities like Brighton and of course not to forget Portsmouth itself!!
After her 4 day visit, we went to London together where I meet another friend who came from Malaysia!!
We had a lot of good time hence I'm a very happy person towards the ending of the month.

Most of you may not know this, the month of March is called my emotional month.
The peak of my emotional month is none other than the 10th of March of every year.
I haven't really figured out why I'm emotional during this month but I would say that I'm grateful that I'm still breathing, eating, walking, talking even after 25 years going on 26.
Maybe I am channeling my emotions wrongly but it doesn't matter. I'm happy that I can be emotional. hahaha!!!

Isn't it a wonder that we can be happy one minute and sad the other?
We are so vulnerable to the changes around us that we change accordingly.
There is a saying in Buddhism, "Change is constant, it is inevitable"
So, there will be an ending for every beginning, and a beginning for every ending.
Just like me, having an awesome ending for the month of February and immediately become emotional in the month of March.

How can we cope with change if it is inevitable?
I believe that we, as humans, are very adaptive.
We adapt from being at home with our parents to going to kindergarden, to primary school learning new things, to secondary school growing up, to university choosing the path for our future, to working and building a career.
All these stages require strong adaptive power yet we can do it.
This shows how adaptive we are though we do not notice it sometimes.

Although we can adapt to almost any kind of situation, we choose not to sometimes.
We get so comfortable with our life sometimes that we do not want to leave the comfort zone.
I have my share of it, and though it feels good, it is not very beneficial for us.
I don't know where will I be if I didn't choose to leave my comfort zone and challenge new things.
I may achieve much more and be better at certain things than I am right now,
I may also achieve much less and know a lot less than what I know right now.
No matter what the possibilities are, I'm happy that I decided to do what I did and am happy with where I am now.
Its not easy coming to where I am in life now, but there are so much more to do.

One thing that helped me along the way is my belief.
I remember writing about passion and belief in my previous blog which I'll repost it here in the near future.
Anyways, I can stand strong now simply because I was taught to embrace changes and make the best out of it.
Changing your mindset is one of the hardest thing to do but it is one of the most beneficial thing you can do for yourself.
Of course, change to be a better person, not for the worse.

I do hope that I will be able to embrace the month of March with much positivity.
But no matter what happens and how I feel, I know that March will end eventually and April will come.
April will DEFINITELY be a very happy month as I'll be once again reunited with my family, not in Malaysia, but in Korea.
What makes me happier is that we will be celebrating the birthday of the woman whom I owe the most to, my mom, together in Korea. I think it's the first time she ever celebrated her birthday overseas and I want to make it really special for her.

Upon looking at the photos I've uploaded for this post, I'd say I did a lot in the final week of February.
No regrets (:
I hope that you will have a good March, if it doesn't, fear not as bad things will come to an end and the good things will come after.
Have a good life!!
