I just woke up on our very last day in Sydney, Australia. And honestly I can kind of feel a sense of relief that it's the last day.
Sydney has been an absolute....whirlwind. It's also been expensive, exhausting, intimidating, and wonderful all at the same time. I see myself coming back here one day for a nice visit and chat, but Australia has a lot more to discover and I wish we'd had the time and the funds to explore it all.
Sydney is just the start of what this journey is supposed to be all about. This trip, from the very beginning has been about New Zealand--- but even more than that it's about self discovery, life experience and I don't know... finding myself? Is that too cliche? Maybe.
This is the first time in my entire life where I haven't had any real obligations or commitments. I'm being dependent on myself. I don't have to go to class, or worry about homework, or a work schedule--for the first time ever there's a huge blank space in my calendar and I can fill it with whatever I want too. How freeing is that? Or terrifying? Or fill in adjective here.
Already this week, we've met a lot of really wonderful people--from all over the planet. Most are traveling along, but some are traveling together and I think that independence is so important to expanding your outlook on nearly everything.
Thank God, Allah, and the old Gods and New that we are here.
See you in New Zealand, my friends.
