Is home really where the heart is?

Well big things are happening in the next couple of months ... the most important being the move back home to Wellington. I guess you can say I am a tiny bit excited, but there is a part of me that is genuinly sad that I'm leaving Auckland. Ok, cue the J.A.F.A jokes (rah rah) - but to be totally honest, I don't care. I still maintain that Auckland is a great place to live!

I've been here (in Aux) for two years now and I can definitly say that it has been an awesome experiance. I've meet so many interesting and wonderful people that I will definitly never forget. I have learnt so much about life, love and personal development since being here and I am greatful to all the awesome people that have crossed paths with me!

Although I am 'mildly' happy about going back home, there are some things that worry me. Yes, I was young and naive when I was growing up (aren't we all??) and I did some things I'm not proud of, but things have changed. I have changed, I've grown up a lot since being there and I have finally found who I am - ME.

So how do you change your headspace to accomodate the changes of moving from a big city, to a tiny one that's kind of like the cast of cheers - where everyone knows your name? I'm afraid that after all the effort I've put into being 'ME' and my own person that I'm going to fall back into the 'routine' of my old way of living. I don't think I could handle that.

So as I embark on this transition of my life I hope like hell that I am strong enough not to conform to the ways of old and keep striving to do what makes me who I am, not what people think I should be.

Only time will tell ...

Hey what a cool site!! I love your blog page you are such a great writer - you should write articles for mags or websites etc cause you are so good at it. Yes moving back to Welly will be interesting and it is smaller then Auckland but always remember that your past cannot control your future so GO HARD and GO FORWARD! Luv ya big sis from Sydneeeeyy!! xo)
