“The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.”

Been pushing my life aside for a large part but I’m done with that, enthusiastic about things and ignoring the need for fullstops - here’s a picture of me nerding out and wearing Danny Boy as a scarf and my sister ghosting in the background :)

The National “Sea of Love”

If I stay here trouble will find me.
If I stay here I’ll never leave.
If I stay here trouble will find me
I believe.
… This was never going to last.

Always looking forward, and feeling the pressure from the past. Why am I here again? To live. To experience. What do I want to do in the future? Many things, but they are not important now. I trust they will sort themselves out. I can let things be, without being totally passive.

There’s nothing more eerie than an empty shopping centre playing inappropriately boppy songs to itself.

Dude I have some really exciting news for you! Well, I think it's exciting. My parents bought a VW Beetle from Darwin and they flew over there last night to go get it. While they were there they went to the art gallery and my mum called up just before and said so. So I asked her what she liked, and she wrote YOUR NAME DOWN BECAUSE SHE SAW YOUR PHOTOS THERE! She didn't even know I knew you, but then she said your name and I'm just so blown away by this coincidence. I thought you should know (:

Listening to Julia Stone’s solo album answers the question of “Why is Angus Stone’s solo album shit?”

I’m happy and settled in Brisbane. Have a job interview tomorrow. I am enjoying cooking many lovely vegetarian curries. Our cat is pretty cool.

Stumbling down the street with chapped lips and blistered heels, I noticed little styrofoam beads rolling down the street. These ugly, little artificial balls somehow synthesised a beautiful and careless current, adapting to the cool winds and the few obstacles that guided them. I felt a release. Last night I let myself wallow in my sadness and I slept on the couch as a symbol of how outside of myself I was feeling. And I promised my heart that my mind knew better and that in the morning I would be functional, hopeful, but not dismissive of my current feelings. A hug from a surrogate father today. A blessing and gathering from the congregation last night. Driving down familiar roads. Preemptively mourning the loss of the town’s nicest tree with one of my dearest. Things are coming together. Cleansing. Learning. Challenge. Its all happening and I’m content, though melancholy. I am relieved I will not grow stale here in this dear town. I am also glad goodbyes are rarely purely permanent. I’m glad I have a plan and that the only concrete factor in this is listening to God. Because even though I am exhausted and sad often, I have a sense that this is all leading to something that I may never fully realise.

“Sometimes I’m… walking along the street and a shaft of sunlight falls in a certain way across the pavement and I just wanna cry. And then a second later, it’s over. I decide because I’m an adult, to not succumb to the momentary melancholy”
