It’s been a week since I moved to Sydney. Somehow it has taught me more about myself than I thought I’d learn in a week to be honest with you. I’ve always been quite introspective, yet I thought I was self reflective too; always looking for how I can be better and grow from my faults. Otherwise, how are any of us meant to ever move forward?
So what exactly have I learned in this small space of time?
I was so wrong about everything. I took it all for granted.
Do I regret the move? No. I believe in giving things time and seeing how things go. I’m so far from the people I love, it makes sense that I’d feel this way.
Will it be forever? Probably not. I can’t see myself staying here longer than a year. I suppose that’s enough time to expand on what I’ve already learned this week.
What exactly have I learned so profoundly this week?
I learned that with time and no distractions, I can be clean and organised. I do know how to clean up after myself and can do it without any issues.
I rely heavily on people and TV. I distract myself by keeping busy with these things in order to either not focus too much on myself or my life… or something else completely. When I learn what it is, I’ll let you know.
I need people. Yes, I know. I just said that people are a distraction – and they are. But I am an extrovert, I need people. I came here thinking I needed time away from people because I didn’t like people, when really I just needed a break – I love people. I just needed to learn to say no. To prioritise me and what I need to do.
Is that an easy thing for me to do? No.
But seeing how much time no TV and not having plans gives me I know that with prioritising I could potentially have it all. Granted, I know it’s only been a week, but hey, it’s what I’ve learned this week.
Here’s to next week.
