My first official Australia Day as an Australian. Even a few months after gaining citizenship, I still find it hard to believe that I have a new identity. I am grateful to my younger self, who, nine years ago, made the bold decision to leave behind an architecture degree that did not align with the career I wanted to pursue and, after much thought, began traveling. Leaving Taiwan and coming to Australia was a leap of faith, and I have never regretted it.
Sometimes, when we want to make a big change, we worry about whether we will regret our decision, as some choices may seem unwise at the moment. The truth is that we never know how good life can be until we take the chance and embrace the fact that change often involves risks.
Time flies, and everyone has a different path and makes unique choices in life. If we truly want to do something, we must take action and go for it, knowing that we gave it our best shot. If it does not work out, that is okay, because every effort adds another layer of certainty and valuable lessons. Instead of overthinking and imagining what could have been, taking action is what truly makes a difference.
I have learned so much during my journey and am deeply thankful for all the people I have met along the way who have helped shape the person I am today.
