LEAVING SOON
So, I leave for Sydney in three days.
Whoa.
You know, about eight months ago I couldn't even dream that I would be doing this. That I would be living on my own, and pretty successfully except for some ridiculous bad luck with pick pockets which frankly, I give up on.
Other than that, I have managed haven't I? I can cook, I have backpacked across Europe, I have been to concerts and music festivals, finally conquered that silly little smoking hang up and I have met people from so many places that I can't even keep count any more...it's been a period of amazing growth. And I wonder if I am the same person I was before. Surely not, because that person seems like someone so far away now. So very far away.
As do others. But that's all right. With time, I suppose.
I'm closer to my family now, but very far away from my dreams of drawing a steady pay check and diving. Hopefully, one day I'll do both. Hopefully. Fingers crossed, I say.
Breda has been great and I'll be sorry to leave. That's how it is though.
So here I go. Sydney, Bali and Chiang Mai.
It's quite a ride.
