An insight into my everyday crazy life!
My blog
Firstly let me say that I'm sorry I have not been active the past 2 months. I had study for my first set of uni exams (I PASSED BY THE WAY WOOHOO!) and I also recently flew over to Melbourne for my Pa's (GrandFather) funeral, which is I guess how this blog came about. I should have posted this a week ago, but as always it didn't feel like something I wanted to say, it felt more like me saying something for the sake of getting something posted for you all to read! I'm glad I didn't post because what I have to say now is by far more poignant than I ever thought it could be before hand! I'm currently sitting on a plane flying home to Perth from Melbourne as I write this, The fact that I felt overwhelmingly happy the moment the plane took of just shows me that my life is most definitely on the right track. After spending a week in Melbourne surrounded by the people who are meant to be my family, I now realise just how far I have come and also how much further I have to go. Before this trip I was honestly home sick and despite the fact I will still miss a few people, I can sincerely say that Perth is very much my home and the incredible people I surround myself with are the people I call my family! You can not allow someone else's negative thoughts or actions, or expectations for you, to define your life. I've learnt over the years that just because someone calls you a name or says "you'll never..." does NOT make it true or real. If you want to do something with your life then don't wait until tomorrow to make a change... Start today! A man who I love dearly and who inspires me greatly once told me some of the most truthful words I've ever heard and I have carried them with me through the past few years. "... it's hard I've been in your position hating every day and wanting it to be over as soon as it starts but honestly you have to just make some drastic changes. Sometimes we just need a different scene a different us nobodies perfect but if you're not liking life now think of the things that make you unhappy and make a change on them today which is exactly what I did. We all need that detox in life finding a new us." I do my best to remember these especially in the hard times. It was in those times that I wanted to give up and go home that these words reminded me, that if I wanted to make a change in my life I couldn't give up and I couldn't keep looking back but instead I had to look ahead and work hard, eventually I decided to stop looking back altogether. I had moved 3,400 kilometres away from everything I had ever known purely because it no longer made me happy, it no longer felt like home! As soon as I stopped doubting myself and my choices and as soon as I started looking ahead to the future, I began finding myself. It's taken a long time and lessons learnt but I'm getting there. I'm in a good place and surrounded by amazing people, I feel like I'm right where I'm meant to be. It took going back to what I used to know, one last time, for me to really be able to see just how far I've come these past few years. In fact for the first time in a very long time I'm truly excited for what the future holds, university, love, friends, careers, everything! I want anyone reading this to know that YOU ARE WORTH IT. Do not ever allow yourself to be made to feel as though you are worthless and unworthy of greatness. I love you all so much and if you take nothing else from my writing, take that!
