Singapore airport, waiting for my plane to board. Melbourne at last.
"It's too hot" i hear in the faint distance, a voice that sounds so familiar - but i don't know anyone here??
I have to turn and look, "too hot for ya son?" says a man to his son, in a tone that rings home. How wonderful it feels to hear our lazy pronounciation of words, a flavour of aus! It's crazy how much i've longed to be home. How much i want to be home. I've never felt homesick like this before. Ever. My sense of identity lies within the borders of that huge huge island. I'm so proud to be an aussie. A place I will forever call home.
My family, My friends, My life. Always.
I know i will forever maintain this so called 'travel bug' or as i'd prefer to call it: cultural interest. But i know ill forever return to our great green and gold.
And now, even before ive actually made it home i have more plans, more places and more possiblities in mind. The world is my playground, i need to explore it.
Things i really really look forward to back home:
Seeing my doggies!!!!
Table conversations with the family
Sitting on bec (my sister's) bed talking all night
Mum's hugs
Dad's humour
Sam's insightful conversations and delicious sweets
The australian accent
The australian sun
My grandparents
Our beaches
My friends
My little cousins and extended family
Mum's cooking
Painting outside
Helping bec to decide what to wear
Dad talking about football until your ears burn
Doing yoga every morning
My yoga mat
Eating healthy
And the list goes on infinitely...
:)
