The future is full of excitement.

After a brief conversation with my absolute soulmate of a friend it has been decided that we will be heading off on adventures both at home in Australia and then overseas in Vietnam! This girl is my world. I can not wait to share some of the world with her.

Next step however, save coin asap!

Life's little delights.

I went shopping for gifts for home today and came across a little notebook that I simply had to send to a very dear friend of mine. It has nothing to do with Canada but has everything to do with mine and her's friendship. Written on the front was:

"We are all wanderers on this Earth. Our hearts are full of wonder. And our souls are deep with dreams."

It reminded me of one of my most favourite songs from Bat For Lashes (Natasha Khan)

We are all strangers in a strange land Wanderers in a vast and unknowable universe Show me moonlight on the sunrise I've seen so many planets dancing I've seen too many people hiding Show me sunset And I won't forget That I am one of two planets dancing I am part of two planets dancing Shallow men, sign your name, on my sun The son of Solomon died in the battleground The son of Solomon died in love's battleground I am far shattered by these sinning times For all your suffering by night Oh Life is so much dark and light Day cannot exist without a night And you should not slip away from me I have a heart that's full of light to be shared On this night, feel my hands, feel my love For the sun and the stars of my mother and my sisters I know where the foam is changing I know that the stars will follow on from me

If you know the song then you will know how beautiful it is, as is all of her work.

Love.

Snow.

I couldn't help but smile as I walked in the snow today. I laughed as it surrounded me with it's innocence and playfulness.

The world does not owe us anything.

I am not perfect.. I am far from it. However I do know that life does not owe me anything. If you want something in life then you have to go out there and make it happen for yourself. You are responsible for your own happiness. Some people need to be reminded of this.

My how things have changed.

Long story short. I was miserable. I was crying every day. I finally took a step back and saw simply that the situation I was in was not healthy to my mind or body. I took action. I quit. I began planning a knew path for myself. At first I felt guilty. Although, after long talks with family and friends I came to realise that sometimes in life you have to do what is best for you. You have to make yourself happy. The end of this short story is that I am now in a new place, seeing new things, dealing with new situations. I am happier.

I heart endorphins.

A day that began with tears ended with a smile thanks to an exercise high! I love that I can turn my brain onto auto-pilot and plod my way up to the gym even though I could've quite happily stayed in bed. Five minutes in I was loving life. I'm working my way back into running and done a nice casual 30minutes on the treadmill, a basic weights session, and then finished with a walk along the trail in the crisp mountain air. Through all of this I took part in a good old fashion chit chat with one of my new awesome friends. It's amazing how just talking about everything and hearing another persons view on things can really help and motivate you. I finished all of this off with a big glass of milk and firm feeling of acomplishment.
