“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.”

Broke and happy!

I've been home from my east coast adventure for about a week and a half now, and I've been in a bit of a post vacation slump. I had so much fun and met really cool people, so it was bittersweet to be back. 

.... Buuuuut then I came home to my crazy, broke, silly, loud life in the trailer park and I realized how happy I am here. I don't have a lot of money, I've been everywhere handing out tons of resumes with no luck, and my car tire popped today (not the spare) on a random dirt road with barely any cell reception. I basically freaked out and called Sarah and she dropped what she was doing to come save me. Now that is an amazing friend! When we were driving back I realized who the heck cares about the stupid car and my job situation and all that crap bringing me down, I have these amazing girls in my life, we have the best times together and I know that they'll do anything for me and I'd do anything for them. While I may not be living in a wicked cool apartment with lots of clothes and I eat rice and beans for breakfast lunch and dinner, I start my day off in the ocean almost every day, I feel the sun and I buy local veggies at the farmers market weekly. This life is definitely different than how I would be living if I had stayed in Toronto, but I love it so much and I'm the happiest I've ever been! To everyone here in Australia that has made my experience amazing so far, a big thank you! My life is so much better with you all in it :)

And... To make things better, I have a trial  as a cleaner at the caravan park on Friday! Don't need a car for that haha 

Lovin and livin life to the fullest xoxo
