Why do I have so much shit?
Dental dams are gross.
Seriously though. Packing. No. I did my best by trying to ease the pain with some old school funk music and it worked quite successfully.
Here are all the worldly possessions that I've decided to bring with me for my travels;
So just get used to seeing me in the same 5 outfits for a while.
I have under 24 hours now until I leave but I don't think it has sunk in for me yet and I don't imagine it will until my first plane lands.
I've spoken to so many people about what it means to travel. I think it has easily been my favourite topic of conversation for the past 4 months.
I'm now unemployed for the first time since I was 12. Even though all my amazing friends and family have been nothing but supportive, leaving has still been hard, I'm not going to lie. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be.
Perth's so warm to me, it's comfortable, safe, familiar.
I think it's important to do things that scare you. To tackle the fears you have surrounding your ideas of loneliness head on. To measure myself. People have been telling me to take in every moment and this fear, nervousness and uncertainty is just another part of it all and it's all very exciting.
It's good to experience life and all it's glory, but if something doesn't seem right, then it isan't and please trust your instincts. Of course you are a smart girl, but do not trust ANYONE!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself and take lots of photo's, look at all the wonders of the world and take in as much as you can. After all every country, and the people in it are all very fascinating.
If you have some moments of feeling lonely, do something that you will enjoy, even if it's just putting a piece of tinsel at Xmas time on your bag. You have decorated something. I remember when we lived in the village in Bali I got lonely on my first Xmas away and I decorated our one room in tinsel, it was the best I could do, but it made me feel better. The Balinese family thought I was crazy, but the point was I did it for myself, it made me feel closer to home, and I felt better. OR you could just ring us or skype us, back then they didn't have computers and technology. ha ha ha
Anyway, I love you my darling daughter and we will be here for you. xxxx Stay safe and have a wonderful time. xxxx
