I have to say; leaving Australia and moving to a city where you know no one, apart from an established brother and his family is a big decision. One that I may not have forseen the circumstances at the time I booked my visa. Its quite belittling to live in a city of millions of people, and knowing a total of 5-10 people. What I have learned about leaving the ones you love and the blessings you have is much harder than I could have understood. However, I would not change one bit of it. I love my family and my friends who reside in Australia. But the people I have met, the experiences I have had and the love I have for myself is something that you cannot learn by living in the same city for your entire life. We all make choices that change our lives and I think that my choice to move to the biggest and best city in Europe is the best thing that could have happened to me. Although its been hard at times and sitting in on a Saturday night might be challenging, its helped me take a global position on world events and on my own affairs. I may never speak to people I once had considered my only loves and built my life around, building a life around yourself and your own needs is something else. I'm a lonely soul who enjoys time alone, but loves time with the people who absolve my loneliness. The connection to the world is something you see only when you open your mind to what others endure. Migrants dying in boats and journeying from Syria to France is ultimate compared to the things I have challenged myself to. So I could never believe myself to have achieved anything in spite of that. But when I look back on the past few months, I cannot do anything but commend myself for being positive and keeping my head up. I left Australia in love with a boy not in love with the person I am, and a family who had endured great deals, reconsiling and moving into new stages. I am forever happy and grateful for the blessings had, but making your own blessings in life is the best feeling. I hope that anyone feeling a little lost and alienated from reality has the opportunity and confidence to challenge their way of life. Unless you end up living the short time you're given on this Earth going through the motions of a reality that isn't what life had instore for you. Make your own miracles and live your life the way you want, because no one can change it but yourself. Love yourself and keep your chin up. When you love yourself, others will see your beauty and love you back.
