end-of-year-lj-post ho!
i'm quite proud of myself this last year.
the year started out pretty awful; relationship fell apart on the third, spent the first few months couch-surfing, etc, etc,
but i moved away once my dad realised how bad things were going for me and decided i needed looking after for a while.
and accepting his offer was the best decision i've made
but what i'm really proud of is that i moved here knowing no-one at all, with no job, no school, which are the normal ways one meets new people. and yet, i now have a wonderful group of friends, who i met by forcing myself to go to events and get-togethers alone, and to speak to people there. i've built myself a pretty nice new life up here; to the point where my ruth, who has no interest in ever moving away from canberra, as far as i'm aware, told me she thinks that it would be a step backward if i moved back to canberra.
next move will be out of my dads to live nearer newtown, probably early next year. after that, melbourne
all in all, a lot of shitty stuff happened this year, but it was a good year all the same
