It's Done.
That's it I've officialy done it - just got off the phone after telling my boss in the UK that I want to stay in Australia and that I'm not coming back.
The resignation letter has been emailed off too, so as of 4 weeks today I'll be unemployed (although since I won't be in the same hemisphere as my office until then, it's pretty much effective immediately really).
I feel like I've got shell-shock, I've been thinking about this moment on and off since I decided to fly out to Australia in May of last year, funny thing is though, I don't know that I thought I had the guts to do it like there was always a little part of my brain saying "Nah-,you'll go back and settle into your old life once the 3 month break is up. Of course you will, even if you say you won't."
I don't know that I've ever felt more terrified in all my life, but it's done. The thing is now not to waste the opportunity, to make sure that I've given it all up for a good reason.
What is they always say?
"Courage isn't the absence of fear, but rather having the strength to rise above that fear and conquer it."
