Mixed feelings are surfacing with this announcement...
I'm pleased I've made it this far, happy to have all the life experience, missing friends & family back in Australia, excited to see what the next year brings, nervous to think that I'm on the downhill for the trip, overwhelmed with options for the future...And then there is the shock, hurt & anger... nothing really to do with the UK trip. In fact it's due to the REASON I left Australia. I learnt some news through a mutual friend today & it completely knocked me over.
It had been 1 year since I'd heard the name uttered and I almost bit the messenger's head off. I don't want to hear about how the world is still spinning and things are changing while I'm over here. I most definitely don't want to hear about the years I have lost due to my self-imposed amnesia.
Back to the warm, fuzzy feelings.............
I have been to Paris, Iceland, Copenhagen and seen a bit of the UK. There's still plenty I want to see & do and time is ticking down now.
It's now time for me to start looking towards the future & seriously think about what my next move is going to be come this time next year.
