Do you ever feel like there is so much inside of you that you no longer know which way is up? Or how to do menial tasks?

Like the sky dips just above your head and that you need to duck so as not to disturb every other living thing that surrounds you?

Like every possible thing that you could do would be a complete fuck up but you do it anyway because the other option yields the same response?

I guess sometimes I feel like that and I don't know what to do about it?

2 years old

My tumblr turned two years old today, it hasn't had as much attention as it deserves, I hope if I ever have a two year old child that she/he receives more attention from me. Anyway.... It's winter again and it is not even the slightest bit cold here and my first day of Winter Sunday was so very great even though I had to work. No babies were born on my shift but it was a relaxed, have three morning teas kind of day. I got home and baked wholemeal date scones and read a book then a friend picked me up and we lit a bonfire on the beach, cooked marshmallows and swam in phosphorescence. So very lovely. Hi Winter, it's so nice of you to visit.

Riding a bus through the night, leaning against the cool glass and listening to 'cigarettes will kill you' This is actually a really beautiful moment.

Updating appears to be something that is beyond me a lot of the time. It's not like I don't have the time to do it, I'm always lounging around and playing on my computer. But trying to find the time to write something worth reading is harder because I have to be more than just physically available. Anyway thing that have happened that I forgot to tell you. I returned from a delightful trip to South America with one of my very best friends. It was such a fun time, Rio for Carnivale, Machu Picchu, Llamas, Santiago, days of trekking around Buenos Aires, meeting new people, dancing in the street, developing communication skills. I would go back in an instant. My work offered me a permanent position, so now I guess, if I want, I can enter the world of adulthood and commence taking out loans and making more life decisions. I am not ready and will likely continue to spend my money on temporary items. I attended my most favourite festival ever PORT FAIRY FOLK FESTIVAL with my parents, brother and some of my best friends. We danced and drank Guinness and swam in the freezing sea water. I have been camping, baking, exercising, fantasising, working, visiting friends, feeling more emotions than my little self can possibly handle and basically attending to life in my normal fashion. I miss my cat and sometimes I desperately just want to go home. I miss feeling grounded. Everything up here feels like it could be short-lived but I guess I only came up here with short-term in mind. Anyway, there is a brief and poorly portrayed update of my life for the last few months. Visitors are welcomed up here with open arms. Book a flight.

Made it to Peru. I'm pretending I'm a cactus in Lima, I'm also pretending that I'm a pigeon in Cusco. At all times I am however a dorky tourist. To Machu Picchu tomorrow. Hurrah.
