this is what JG said when i thanked her for coming to the rescue, flying to melbourne within three days of me telling her i needed her, a familiar face, someone who know me inside and out. a quick visit but enough time to restore normalcy, the smile on my face and to show someone from my…
when your little sister isn’t so little anymore.
its been amazing to watch AB, my darling baby sister, grow up. distance brings a lot of clarity to meaningful relationships and regardless of how close we were prior to my departure, there is this maturity to her surfacing, and i continue to be so proud of her (albeit from afar). it’s an overwhelming comfort when…
wintertime in melbourne.
while today marks summer solstice back home it is wintertime in magical Melbourne. there are no flurries, no white snowflakes. but there is still a chill in the air that makes you wrap up in an extra layer and take refuge in the warmth of a crackling fire. yes, there is something simplistically romantic about winter in…
three month anniversary.
three-month anniversary with melbourne. and it is getting pretty serious ;). i continue to feel so alive, so at peace. being removed from everything, everyone. loneliness creeps up now and again but i’m in this wandering headspace, distracted by something, not quite sure what. and i’m not quite sure i’m bound to find out anytime soon….
a silent letter to a patient friend.
for what it is worth i want you to know that i’m exhausted, tired and drained from uncharacteristic scenes (which i wholeheartedly admit are usually infused by my irrational – and ridiculous – behaviour). and if i’m exhausted by the drama, i can only imagine that you are ready to hibernate. i guess what i’m trying…
haven’t been here before.
i’ve decided that life is hard. falling in love is even harder. but i’ve also realized just how strong i am. and even in my weakest moment i know that i will be just fine. over the past couple of days i have received some very honest emails from dear friends, providing insight into my feelings – the clusterfuck of…
a phone call from grandma.
the sound of a loving voice knocks any strength out from under me. i am resorted to feeling isolated, lonely and insecure in the sudden realization that i left those that naturally get me in a completely different hemisphere. which is why when a phone call from home comes on a bad day that feeling of…
banff mountain film festival.
there was something about watching a canadian based film production from up over in the land down under. it made me proud to be from the great white north, proud to be a canuck. although i don’t have the skill or endurance for adrenaline spots or the mental capacity to risk the adventure i can appreciate a daredevil’s passion and rush…
home sweet home.
first day my new home. 2.5 months after arriving in Melbourne and $7.5K in debt later, i have found my base, the start of a foundation in which my journey of self discovery will revolve around. slightly stressed financially but reassured knowing that it is a small price to pay in the scope of my happiness. after…
logic vs. emotions
thinking vs feeling. logic vs emotions. the former is thought through with the head, the part of our body where reason is evaluated and rationalized; clear definitions derived from compound detail – basic logic. on the other hand, feeling, is centred in the heart, the inner core of the body, the part that is irrational,…
static confusion.
