Writing this even though it’s currently around 11pm here haha xP I woke up at around 9am this morning as I just came back from my 2 week overseas vacation so I’m still trying to get used to adjusting the time! 🙂 but happy 10th anniversary to SANE Forums!!

 

I’ve first joined this forum since last year I think? And these days I’ve been slightly more active on here than I did before. I pretty much like it here and with all of the support I’ve been getting from some amazing peer workers especially @rav3n @tyme and @Jynx 


What experiences have brought you strength over the past 10 years?  

I’m not really sure to be honest 🤔 

 

What lessons have you learnt over the past 10 years that have had a positive impact in your life?   

there’s a fair amount of life lessons that I have learnt from the people that I trust and they’ve have been my role models ever since, and I was 18 when I began to have learnt and taught all those lessons. I do believe some of these lessons have had kinda made a “positive” impact in my life but I still haven’t gotten to the point where I let them stick to me on a regular basis as I’m usually the type to have a fixed mindset and still struggle to see things in a positive light whenever certain things don’t go the way I expect them to be.

 

Share a piece of advice or support you’ve received, or perhaps a post you have read on the Forums that has stayed with you? 

I would like to share a piece of my own advice, and that would be that you can choose who in your family/relatives you would like to associate yourself with regardless of how bad your relationship with them is.

 

Share your reflections on what was happening in your life 10 years ago, or some reflections on where you were at when you first joined the forums - or both!

Well 10 years ago I was at my final year of primary school, and it was the year where everything at school between me and the people I used to be friends with all went downhill. Those people are the reason why I’ve always been afraid to do stuff that I lowkey always wanted to do and I’ve never ever gotten to do them anyways.

 

This is such as: wanting to be a public figure on any type platform and even wanting to show my face and talking with my actual voice..

 

the reason I’m forever scared and do not wish to do this is because I’m afraid that those people would still send me hate comments and would spread lies about me for the whole world to see the moment they find or notice me on any platform that involves being a public figure & other people that would see that would run off with it and believe in the rumours that those people would spread (and would side with them and cancel me). I’ve seen this happen with some of the public figures whose had some past scandals being exposed by the ppl that know them personally & I knew that either wanting to be a kpop idol or any social media public figure would be too risky for that. (Well thank god I never took the risk of becoming a kpop idol because of all the work conditions and abuse that these idols have to go through on a regular basis is…definitely not worth the risk and I’m so glad that I was able to know about this..only a little too late)

 

Remember guys, sometimes being told to let go of the past doesn’t even help because even if you try to let go, those things that have happened in the past DO forever remain with you for life.
