it is time.

With a long exhausted week of coming back and recovering from Melbourne,
dealing with the fact that my work still isn't paying me correctly and experiencing serious
stomach pains throughout the week, I think it's about to time for family time.  


There's just nothing quite like spending QT (quality time) with the family.  No one else understands you better than they do, no one else who would do just about anything for you, (thanks mum).  Nothing compares to that warm, tingly, overwhelming feeling inside of you when a family member gives you a hug, gives you a compliment, or holds you while you're crying on their shoulder and tells you, "Honey, everything's going to be alright." and yet it feel like it is. 


Moving away from home to a big city, is such a massive thing with such little real preparation for what actually goes on. But I've come to realise that leaving the nest for the very first time, truly shapes the person you will become, helps you mature, discipline your finance. It seems that this season in your life is the biggest learning curve yet, the season for many mistakes, the season to get back on your feet again when you feel like giving up and the season to let go of things and relationships. 


Time to grow up, and know what is good for you and what isn't good for you.  Write down your goals and aspirations and truly follow through with things.  Make an effort to see friends, and make new ones.
Making the most out of each and every day because the days become shorter and shorter with age. Which brings me to my next point, keeping in touch with grandparents and parents, who have been through a whole lot more than you know.  The family members who you will learn wisdom from, and hear many great stories from for that manner. 


For it is not the days we remember but the great moments in them...
