As I stepped into this Melbourne apartment alone, a sense of unprecedented loneliness engulfed me. Back home, I was always surrounded by family and friends, but now I must face the life in a foreign land all by myself.
I looked around the small apartment, the posters on the wall seemed to narrate stories of the previous tenants. I couldn't help but imagine the various events that had taken place here.
I made a simple dinner for myself, but the taste seemed bland. I began to miss the home-cooked meals from my hometown and my mother's cooking skills.
Late at night, I sat in front of the desk, messaging my family and friends, sharing my experiences of the day. Getting their replies made me feel a bit less lonely.
Turning off my phone, I resolved to embrace this new student life abroad. I believe that with effort and adaptation, this place will also become my second home.
Glancing at the clock, it showed 11 PM. I suddenly noticed some numbers engraved at the bottom of the clock: 1b1b. It seemed to hint at some informationβperhaps the layout of this balcony-equipped apartment? π After all, this is Melbourne CBD ποΈ, with convenient living and transportation βοΈ, and the room is fully furnished ποΈ. Anyway, I believe that as long as I maintain a positive and optimistic attitude π, everything will get better π.
