Apart from the fact that I'm broke (what's new) everything is going quite nicely. Just hosted an extended party for Asela, Kay and Johnny for a few days of Shisha fuelled hedonism. It's strange to be alone. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it on here yet but I got accepted to go to China in September. I'm so excited, and scared at the same time. ( Read more... )

This is so great Carl. I am so happy for you.

Obviously I don't know anything about your problems or anything like that but I just want to say (if I haven't already!) that I went off on my year out with a heart that had been fully broken and with such a sense of desperation that ANYTHING had to be better than what I was feeling.. I wasn't in an especially good place emotionally and the first month, the culture shock and all, was really tough. However, going to live abroad in a totally different country and society was fundamentally the best decision I ever made and the most important 7 months of my life. It didn't solve my problems, it was a massive challenge, and I was by no means constantly happy while I was over there but the experience as a whole made me a stronger, more confident, more knowledgeable and wiser person. I honestly think it's a great thing that you're up for this and that you've got a place. Don't mean to lecture or be patronising, hope I'm not coming across like that. Just want to give my encouragement. xxx
