I don’t even remember the last time I took to my Tumblr in hopes of actually writing more than a sentence, but I can assure myself that it must at least seem like a long time ago. So much has changed in the last few months, things that, if you had told me back then about where I’d be now I probably would have slapped your face and then fallen over backwards with shock. Because it is just that much like WOW!
Three months ago I was living in Wollongong NSW with my Daddy, my two little brothers, my old doggie and my new puppy. I was working 2 days a week at a cinema and spending my pay and my Centrelink money on alcohol, clothes and whatever else tickled my fancy. I was single, I had rad times with my friends and I didn’t care about much. My best friend and I weren’t even speaking because we were both too busy thinking about our own lives, 700 kilometres apart, to be bothered with each other.
Then there was a phonecall, and many others followed. A trip was planned. And then one night, after two years of trying to deny what was quite obvious to both of us, everything fell into place. And now I’m in a relationship, and living with my boyfriend in Grafton, on the North Coast of NSW. In two weeks we’re going to pack up our little bedroom and shove as much of our stuff as we can into ‘the wagon’ and come back home to Wollongong. I’ll still be living with my Daddy, and brothers and my dogs who hate each other, but now the final piece of the puzzle will be there too.
And I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am about that.
