I fly home tomorrow night. A mere 30 hours and 3 flights and i’ll be back in Scotland. I’m cold just thinking about it. My last month here and the last of 2019, has been the best one of whole year; in deciding to stop searching and panicking, I allowed myself to enjoy life. Without the pressure to Figure It All Out, life became enjoyable and fun, a holiday in the true sense of the word.
I leave Australia a happier person than I arrived in February, with a greater sense of self than i’ve ever had before; happy to be unapologetically myself. I cant be anything else and i dont think I’ll try to be anymore. I met some wonderful people, made friends for life, basked in glorious sunshine, walked endless miles along beaches, saw koalas, kangaroos and dolphins, amongst many other glorious things. What a great year 2019 has been. I didnt surf, have a barbeque or do a number of must-do Classic Oz things. They weren’t my must-do things so I skipped them. Owning my choices and decisions is a HUGE lesson i needed to learn, i think i have indeed learned it. I’m truly content with how I spent my time here, glad I made the choices I did and grateful for everything I experienced. Stresses and all. So, thank you Australia; for your beauty and sunshine revived this sad little sprout, giving me life and energy in abundance. Scotland will provide all the rain i’ll be needing so 2020 should truly be a year of growth. I'm ready for it. Peace out from me, my sunburnt nose and my battered old backpack. We're heading Home for Hogmanay.
