They say people who are born in the year of the horse have personality traits of being warm-hearted, enthusiastic, and positive. They are lively and active, and also symbolise independence and freedom.
I’ve always told people that there’s nothing more I love than my freedom and I hate being tied down. I envy how horses are able to run free in any direction they want without anyone stopping them. (Well, wild ones not these pet ones 😂)
From all the traits said above, the one personality trait I’m most proud of myself is being able to be strong and independent. I’ve been privileged since I was a kid. I never had to learn how to do my own laundry or wash the dishes until I decided to move out and be on my own as a young adult. As a person who has been spoon fed my whole life, I found it very hard learning to adult when usually everything would be done for me. A lot of people who knew me back then weren’t confident that I could make it alone and would crawl back to my family. Well, instead, I travelled around the world living in different countries the past 7 years and worked hard to stay on my own two feet. So far I’ve lived from Hong Kong to Thailand, France, Singapore, Malaysia and now starting England as my next adventure. This is also where I can get my sense of freedom.
I’m about to hit the big three zero in a few months. Although I feel like I haven’t done much or achieved much and especially this year being so crazy with so many (I really mean - THE MOST) ups and downs making me feel defeated. One thing I want to be thankful for this year is learning to self-love, we are our own biggest critics and I’ve realised that I’ve been so hard on myself. I’ve learned that what’s most important isn’t money or status but health and happiness. I am so proud of myself for coming this far working hard on my own and improved so much as a person. I am my own dark horse and I will keep thriving and wont stop until I am the person I was born to be 🖤🐎
