I was here

This is it isn't it? Tomorrow I'll be in KL and my journey in Perth would be nothing but an old chapter of my life filled with wonderful memories.

Perth felt like a home away from home, like my own little safe haven where I journeyed to find who I am without the influence of my parents.

I want to write so much more, scream out my feelings, sob loudly and just let it go. But I can't. Maybe I'm still in denial or maybe I've learn to suppress my emotions too well.

All I could muster out is "I won't cry." Why? If tears flow out, then I can't pretend I'm just a passer-by looking at someone else's life, it's my life.

I had so many wonderful memories here albeit there are some sad and depressing ones too. I've made close friends that I never thought I would. I learned, laughed and cried with all of them and they helped created some of my fondest memories. I wanted to list everyone out and write a farewell to each of them but I decided against it. It would feel to real. Now the water falling outside would be suffice.

I remember the first night in Perth, I was in this same exact room. I was in awe of this mysterious place called Perth and giddy from the thought of having new adventures and experience.

God gave me so much more than I expected, He gave me a journey beyond my wildest dreams. I had crazy adventures, long journeys, road trips and even a chatting session that lasted until 2 in the morning. I've met some wonderful people and I was lucky enough to befriend some of them. They were like the puzzle pieces in my life that I never thought was missing until they came crashing into my life. I will always cherish the moments we shared, always.

What else can I say without shedding a tear? Not seeing them every youth, Sunday service and not able to go have adventures with them during breaks. I feel like we still have so much to do but I guess I lost the privilege to complain when I decided to go back home.

The song, I was here resonated with me lately.
___
I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I want to say I lived each day, until I died
And know that I meant something in, somebody's life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see.

I wished I made some impact in their lives however small it may be because I know in my heart that they left a footprint in my heart that will never disappear.
