I'm writing this post from the gate at the airport. It still doesn't seem totally real. I'm *SO* excited for what is ahead of me but at the same time, am having a really hard time containing my tears because I'm sad to be closing this chapter of my life, and it has been a great one.
I've had a ton of great things happen to me in San Francisco. I've met wonderful people, created so many memories and overall been so ridiculously fortunate to have gone through everything that I did. It is truly one of hardest decisions I've had to make to leave this city and this life that I've created, but I know I would have always regretted it if I didn't take this opportunity and as someone very wise once said to me 'you can always hit the reset button.'
I spent my final day in California with Dan. We drove down to Pescadera which was beautiful. We walked on the beaches, explored a sandstone cave, had some 'world famous' soup from a little place down there, and we also got some pie of theirs which is supposed to be 'world famous' but I just remembered that I left it in his car. I guess I will never know if the Ollieberry pie is all it's cracked up to be (or what Ollieberry is or tastes like for that matter.) It was really nice to take in some parts of California that I hadn't previously had a chance to see. It makes me a little regretful that I probably never fully taken advantage of all of the beauty that was around me for 2 1/2 years, but the best thing I can do with that regret is apply it to this new chapter of my life, and make sure I explore everything that I can in Sydney.
Well, they're boarding at my gate. It's time to wipe away my tears, get on the plane, and in a few plane movies time, a few tylenol PM's affects and 14 hours from now, I'll be starting my new life. I'll finally be doing what the name of this blog suggests and what the reason I started writing this blog in the first place was; returning to Australia. Catch you all on the flip side! :)
