Going South

          I was going to launch into a spill about why I created this blog and what I'll be posting in and everything but I am actually way to busy to even think about that. Why am I so busy, I here you ask, well I'm off to Melbourne in the morning. It's currently midnight here and I am still struggling to pull clothes into some order and then into a suitcase, then shower, then sleep, to be up at 5am, to go and catch a flight. Exhausting, I know. Especially when my body clock really isn't accustomed to Australia. Yet I am really excited about rewriting a little bit of my history. The last time I went to Melbourne, it was amazing, but it was slightly ruined by an overtone of despair and foreboding.

          You see, this trip I am going with my beautiful friend Felicity, but last time I went with my boyfriend at the time. We had organised to go for 2 months and had the date locked in, but about a week and a bit before we were scheduled to fly out, I broke up with him! Then a few days before we were meant to fly out, we got back together (obviously because he was getting a free trip to Melbourne and didn't want to miss the opportunity). So there was this strange, hollowing affect of a time and place where I had been so in love with this boy, only to realise that our relationship just wasn't working anymore. So needless to say,  Melbourne, for me, reminds me of this time where I loved and lost (we broke up again a few days after we came home to Sydney)- and that sadness kind of ruined alot of the fun I could have, and should have, had down there. So it's time for a rewrite. I'll post some photos and stories later, but for now I thought I would leave this post with a happy snap- because I really loved the city- I just was dealing with a heart that was too broken....


....and this time I'm looking to fall in love with the city, because this time it's the right place and right time and most importantly the right person to be enjoying a little vacaayyy with. Bring it!
