When: feb 20 around 1:45
Where: Adria bar, darling harbor, Sydney,AU
Why: taking a smoothie break
Sitting in some cute wicket chairs with my feet up, looking out into the harbor. Totally exhausted and trying to reflect on this past week. Other than studying for my test, I've learned two major lessons these past 2 weeks.
1) life is about taking chances. I'm not talking about taking an opportunity to go skydiving necessarily, but making your heart and soul vulnerable. It's easy to sit and make decisions that aren't emotionally risky. But opening up to new people, accepting a date invitation, taking control over bad situations or going after a new idea. These are the hard choices we sometimes don't make. For me, uncertainty doesn't sit well with me- if I'm not confident in a decision I won't make it. Bit sometimes these decisions need to be immediate. Life is too short too simply default. I have really learned to put myself out there and it's an amazing feeling when the people around you embrace you for you and that creates trust. Trust is the glue to real and true friendships and meaningful connections.
2) I have learned the difference between being alone and being lonely. To be lonely is to have self pity for your separation from a group for whatever reason. To be alone is an incredibly freeing experience. To rely on only you for direction and mental stimulation allows you to develop a deeper appreciation for shout own self worth and also gives you time to settle things out in your head without distractions and other influences.
This weekend I have taken a solo trip to Sydney and I am incredibly excited for what will become of this trip. I have already checked off so many things on my to do lost I wasn't sure I would accomplish. It's been nice to let my brain work for itself and be here. I have determined that I want to move to Sydney because I love it so much. The mix of history, harbor side culture and city infrastructure is totally wonderful.
J'adore Sydney ❤️
