down the mountain

i think the best way to describe the way i am thinking right now would be that of metaphorically climbing a really big mountain. i came here with the intention of getting to the first big peak and being satisfied and then going back down. but just recently, i made it all the way to the top and now i have to get down.
i dont think that climbing down will be any easier, but maybe it will be easier and maybe it will go by faster.
i'm on my way down and my family and friends are waiting for me down the bottom. and so is the life i left behind.

i cannot wait to have my car again. i cant wait til i can drive around listening to triple j, knowing the roads and having a ten minute errand actually take ten minutes instead of an hour waiting for / on public transport. i cant wait for the relief of knowing i dont have to rely on public transport. i'm even looking forward to those days where motivation comes out of nowhere and before you know it, you've got the car radio on, the windows down and you're cleaning the car as if you're detailing it to be sold.

i cannot wait to be sitting at a cafe by the beach, watching the ocean and having coffee catch ups with friends.
i cannot wait for those rare, random nights when neither my parents, sisters or i have anything planned and it turns into a night of thai take out and a movie marathon.
i cannot wait to visit the local green grocer where you know that your produce is locally grown and will last longer. i cant wait until i decide to go shopping on a weekday night and the shops arent swimming with hundreds of people doing their shopping as well and stopping in the middle of aisles so no one can get past!! (i'm not even exaggerating. grocery shopping here stresses me out)

i cant wait for long sushi rolls and wasabi that actually has a kick to it, tim tams, kraft crunchy peanut butter, strawberry oak, gloria jeans iced chocolate, aree's pad thai, mum's pea and ham soup, cold rock, the large selection of good/real yoghurt, special k advantage, iced coffee, noodle paradise and frozen yoghurt.

i miss my amazing couch and my dvd collection.

i miss you australia. i'll be home before you know it. x
