Leaving Australia

My last week in Australia was incredible. I don’t need to go into too much detail as I’m sure most of the people reading this were there to experience it with me, and I hope I’ve expressed my gratitude to them. I’ve put some photos up on facebook and I will probably upload them on Flickr soon too. Leaving Australia was one of the most difficult, yet complete tasks I’ve ever done. I was primarily sad because of the strength of emotion and love I felt for my friends and family. Being home for these last 6 months really allowed me to connect with my roots and become whole as person. I feel like the little birdy who has just jumped out of the nest and is spreading my wings for the first time. I am so, so, so grateful to everyone, and I know more than ever now how important my family is to me. It really hit me on my last day in Australia, and I spent most of the day with my mum and dogs, bawling my eyes out. I have been travelling many, many times in this life, but walking through those airport gates this time made me tremble. It all feels a little bigger and scarier this time.
