Perfection.

And then something happened,
something that is hard to describe.
Sitting there, alone in a foreign country,
far from my job and all the people I knew,
a feeling came over me.
As if I recalled something,
something that I had never known
and for which I had been waiting.
But I didn't know what it was.
Maybe it was something I had forgotten.
Or something I had missed my whole life.

I can only tell you that at the same time I felt joy and sadness.
But not a great sadness.
Because I felt alive.
Yes.
Alive.


This is a quote from Paris, Je T'aime, and yes it might be describing the city of lights, but I think it summarizes my feelings about Australia perfectly.

Also, I haven't even been home for 24 hours and I already want to go back.
