Do I regret coming to Australia?
Do I regret it?
Hello friends,
Balik lagi denganku—di sela tugas, rasa capek, dan kepala yang kadang penuh pikiran.
Pagi ini aku jalan disekitar rumah,
masak, dan meal prep untuk seminggu ke depan.
Simple things, but they make me pause.
So, do I regret coming to Australia?
No, I don’t.
Tapi jujur, di awal aku sempat menyesal.
Kenapa nggak dari dulu?
Kenapa baru di usia segini aku berani melangkah sejauh ini?
Pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu sering datang diam-diam.

Physically, I feel different.
But mentally? My mindset has changed a lot.
I have friends from different countries—most of them younger than me.
I ask them about their decisions, and I carry those lessons forward,
passing them on to the younger generation in my family.
Decision
Make decisions you won’t regret as you grow older.
Pengalaman hidup memang membantuku lebih siap,
tapi itu juga mengajarkanku untuk tidak terburu-buru.
Don’t rush.
Learning something new is never wasted.
Nothing I learned was ever a mistake.
Growth comes from learning, not from rushing.
Support Sytem
Your support system matters.
Family and close friends who truly know you and support your choices.
A strong support system is essential for mental and emotional well-being,
and it helps build self-esteem.
There will always be haters—learn to ignore them.
Focus on your goals. Make them realistic and achievable.
Life Experience
Life experience is priceless.
You can’t buy it.
You earn it—through fear, courage, and growth.
Be mindful.
Be grateful.
And keep going.
Looking back, coming to Australia was never my regret.
I regret the fear that once held me back.
This journey taught me that growth isn’t easy—but necessary.
And if I had to choose again, I would still choose growth every time.
