In the earlier part of my young adult years, I often felt sad and often read books on depression. Ironically, I often felt depressed when I was a student in the top university. I had good friends in varsity when associated me with depression. I knew I was still struggling a lot emotionally due to a lot of questions on my purpose and meaning in life from my teenage years.
From my early twenties, I start to read many books on depression in the psychological sense. I struggled a lot till my mid twenties with being happy as I did not want to pursue the typical success route by being an MOE teacher or doctor and so forth. My mental health was not in the healthy range, and I felt that my natural inclination was towards the humanities. I thought a lot about the deeper stuff hence my natural major was in Philosophy.
Fast forward to my mid-thirties, I think I have been through a period where my career questions have been answered and my mental health is well managed with a lot of rest and following my heart. I decided to have faith in my decision not to live out other people’s version of success. But to live out something that is uniquely my own.
I felt that even if doing a course in Virtual Events and Production is so different from what I am used to, I would go through this path again when I would cross path with unconventional people. Novel experiences definitely got me intrigued and happy. Being friends with people whom I have not associate with like successful company’s directors will be something memorable.
Lastly, I would like to share my very happy photo taken on the last module of my six-month training programme to prove how enjoyable life was when I was able to be living out my unconventional love for seeking new and novel experiences.
I am glad that I can safely say I am happy for conquering life’s mystery of pursuing a new course of study and recalibrate my state of happiness.
