D&M's - Just at the right time.
On the weekend away in Northern Zealand, Lil and I had a long D&M about life, AIESEC, our lives and where we were headed.
This conversation for me in many ways represents a turning point.
You know how sometimes in life you have a conversation with a close friend, and in that dialogue you realise certain things about yourself and your life? For me, these conversations seem to come along just at the time I need them... or maybe, when I am most aware of what they are saying, or what I get from them.
Talking with Lil on Saturday night, I have decided that I think I will pull out of the Canada traineeship pool, the concordia position that I was interested in. I do not think it is what I need at this stage in my life - it is not what will energise me.
It is a wonderful opportunity and suits me in so many ways, and yet intuitively I know it is not what I need at this current time. I need to be immersed in something completely different, in a completely different culture that is in my face. TOTALLY IN MY FACE.
In a country where I am getting my hands dirty in the community work, where I am interacting with people from different countries, travelling and feeling ALIVE!!
I want to do something out of my comfort, in an area that is not necessarily aligned with my vision for the future.... in doing this I hope to get some energy, and re-ignite my spirit. I am thinking of several traineeship projects working with children and learning at this level, and getting more excited. I am also looking at Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.
I want to get out into new cultures SOOOOOOOOOOOOO different from my own, where I can see, feel, breathe the new culture - and then go back to Oz for my masters.
That is another desire I have - to go home for awhile. To catch up with friends in Sydney, see my family, feel the Australian spirit and culture again...I am ready for a year in Oz again, before travelling the world once I have gained my masters degree in Education.
Home.
Australia.
I never thought I would have the strong desire to go home, and see people as much as I do now, to see Sydney, to eat diverse foods, to see lots of different cultures.... but most to see family and friends...
Well I am going to try and get back for Christmas if possible...
