Holiday in Australia

1 comment December 30th, 2001

While I was in Australia, I kept a notebook with me all the time and wrote in it each day. It's transcribed below. (Photos have been placed in here to help accentuate the description - 10th Dec.)

26 November, 2:35pm
After a relaxed morning of chatting with Kylie and a few final emails with friends, I'm now sitting here at the Wellington airport. I've got an hour and a half to wait for my flight. I bought myself a CD walkman, but I can't pick that up until I board the plane. I think I'll have to just read a book or take some photos of people to keep myself from being bored…

Disappointment and change

Well, I've had a conversation with Mel and while she says this hasn't affected our friendship, it feels obvious that it has. But what the heck, I can't say I didn't expect it. When you do what you feel you need to, you risk losing what's most precious to you. But if you never do it, you'll never ever know if you could ever have obtained it.

"It's better to attempt something great and fail, than attempt nothing and succeed."

And every failure, like every success, is another step along the path of life.

Happy New Year!

Only 4 days until the new year… Hmmm… That sentence seems familiar…
