Life As I Know It

Has changed. Is different from before. Involves new people. Involves new places.

But I'm going home. In 3 and a half weeks, I will be flying back to England and I will have been away for a grand total of 195 days.

I'm not sure I'm ready to go, but I'm going.
Whilst I didn't make it to the 365 days my visa allowed me, it's been almost enough. I didn't get to Canberra, or to WA, but I did go to Perth when I was 11. And I can come back.

There's a part of me that still feels like I've given up. I know I didn't try hard enough to find work, but when the main TV work agency informs you that the person who got the job you applied for that would be below what you're qualified to do at home has even more experience and is the level above you, then you just don't fit.

I came here determined to work. I came here convinced I was fed up with the life I had at home: I wanted a new one.

But you can't find a life. Life is what you make it. I'm going home, and even if home is the same as when I left it, I will have changed.

And I am ready for the next stage. I am ready for amazing things to happen to me. And I am also ready to make them happen.

Have you heard the news, everyone's talking
Life is good 'cause everything is awesome!
