Old mate Sydney.

So i am back home in Sydney…. and for once…. i am REALLY happy to be home.

I have experienced some of the most amazing moments since being back home… from getting back into my fitness routine with early morning bush runs, to long walks along the coast with good friends, to becoming approved for my US visa, through to meeting my best friends “little man” for the first time.. These are all memories that i will cherish for a lifetime.

In the short week that i have been here, i have finally come to terms with this feeling ive had for SUCH a long time. The feeling of returning home.

I can remember the countless journey’s back to the mother land where ive always has this kind of anxiety which always played on me. Now, maybe this was because i ran my own business which dictated that i had to be in Australia when i knew i didnt want to be…. Maybe its because i knew that i wasnt ready to settle and there was more of the world to see, live, work and explore…. but that anxiety that felt like a massive weight on my shoulders has now suddenly disappeared.

Its funny, i once had a friend that told me –

“Put yourself into life and never lose your openness, your childish enthusiasm throughout the journey that is life, and things will come your way.”

For the first time, i have welcomed my home with open arms…. or maybe its because i know that there is whole world of opportunity opening up for me in the US… A new life. A new start. Whatever it is…. i am now left with this feeling  knowing that i can always return home and fall back in love with my “old mate” Sydney.
