We are all too much inclined, I think, to walk through life with our eyes closed.There are things around us and right at our feet that we have never seen, because we have never really looked. We should not keep forever on the public road going only where others have gone; we should leave the beaten track occasionally and enter the woods. Every time you do that you will be certain to find something you have never seen before. Of course, it will be a little thing; but do not ignore it. Follow it up, explore all around it; one discovery will lead to another and before you know it you will have something worth thinking about to ocupy your mind, for all really big discoveries are the results of thought.

so says Alexander Graham Bell


i've booked my ticket, blogpeeps. i fly to melbourne early on the first day of april. this time in 5 weeks i'll have found my way into the city, and will probably be on my way to my sister's house where hopefully i can stay for a night or two.

later in april i have a room lined up in a suburb which fills me with delight, with two queer girls. it's just for a couple of months, which is perfect, because then i'll be finding a house to share with m.

fantastic.

next step is to get my cv updated, and find a job which challenges and inspires me.

i have such a lot to do before i go! it's all possible though, and no reason to stress. this move is such a good thing. so many exciting places and people and ideas to discover across the ditch (as they say...).
