A few of the good things that have happened over the past week:
1. Playing a game of very intense Monopoly at our place on Friday night
2. I woke up before 12 noon every day the last week
3. I even managed to wake up at 7 am to get Lune
4. Skyped my brother for 3 hours and mum for 2 hours
5. $2.15 honey soy chicken drumlets from Woolies for dinner
6. Possibility of dad coming to my graduation
7. My housemate cooked us beef stew on Monday and it tasted divine
8. Having friends text you out of the blue and ask how you're doing
10. Prayed to God about my group mate woes and the next day He answered my prayers (Thank You Jesus)
hang in there, there's lots of good stuff that happened this week - I'm almost done.
11. Stayed home the whole of Saturday and lounged about in pjs and a make up free face
12. Attended the Melbourne Queer Film Festival with Jodie.
It was such an experience being part of something so inclusive, so welcoming and beautiful. Also bumping into our Media, Identity and Everyday Life tutor from last semester made my night. Turns out he was one of the judges for the Queer Short Film competition. It was also he who called out my name when we were walking out of the cinema, and being recognised by one of your favourite tutors is one of the best feelings, in my opinion.

13. Laughing so hard because Jodie said that our tutor probably thinks we're officially girlfriends now because he always sees us together, be it at tutorials, lectures, consults and queer film festivals. Defo lesbos.
14. My best friend, Mistika, found my favourite (it's in bold because that how much I freaking LOVE IT) Lipton Peach & Mango tea in the aisles of the supermarket in Singapore
15. Hot showers on Autumn nights here in Melbourne
This week I've learnt to find love in the small things.
If I keep placing unrealistic expectations on myself and the things around me, I can never be satisfied with how everything plays out - regardless of how good I've actually got it. It's terrible, I know.
So the last week was all about placing aside my obsessive need to achieve unrealistic shitty goals I set myself up for. I've changed my take on viewing things a little this week and with wider eyes and a quieter mind, my heart is delightfully full.
