2023 July Updates: How Am I Travelling?

In the last two months, you might have seen I went to Ravishing Fashionistas fashion event and interviewed most of the designers that showcased in the fashion show. I really like this component in my website. I love to “interview” people from all walks of life, and tagging everyone’s socials on my own socials.

So what else has been happening here in my life?

I recently got a pay rise from my full-time job.

I also fell in love with a fella in Vietnam.

And you know, I have said this to some people but I am sooo used to being abused, and so when I met this fella - I’ve never had anyone invested so much time, money and effort into me.
And it feels a little weird - but a good weirdness, y’know? I know I deserve all the love and happiness in the world and I know I have found true love.
I have really tried to ground myself in the past 3-5 years and focused on working on myself first and foremost. So this relationship/fella has come in the right time.

I am also completing my studies by the end of this July too. And omg, I went to a Tax Accountant today and I have “a lot” of HECS debt. I could look back and tell myself, “Suzanne, you are a failure for dropping out of all of those University degrees.” - but I tell myself, I wouldn’t be where I am if I didn’t fail those courses. I learnt a lot about myself in those times.

I am also going to TedxBrisbane (got my early bird discount ticket!) and will apply for the 1 minute pitch idea. Fingers crossed I’ll get into the finals - it would be a dream (of many dreams!) come true. And it would help me get into my foot into the “TEDx-world”. It’s my ultimate public speaking goal to present a TED talk.

Also in July I locked in two speaking gigs (one in August, and the other in September) and I can’t wait. I am getting more confident with public speaking by the day and not looking back.
