It is 35 minutes til I officially turn 19, and 33 days til I leave for Indonesia.
As I was walking home, I was just thinking how much I've changed since my last trip to Indonesia (2006). I have done lots of things since then. I have changed my mind on certain issues. I have changed my wardrobe. I have changed my plans for the future. There are things that I wish I can do again. There are also things that I want to repeat. And obviously, there are things that I just wish I didn't do.
Then I remembered what my eye-doctor (who has a bachelor in film) said to me. He said, "Never think of it as time wasted. Think of it as, 'well, now I know that that is not something I want to do.' Like process of elimination".
Thank you, insightful optometrist with a film degree. Also, thank you for all my friends; you all have shaped me to who I am right now.
