I just came back from a 6 week trip to Australia; spending time with my relatives (some of whom I’ve never met before or haven’t seen in 20 years) and I had a really really really great time. Everyone was so welcoming and just appreciative; I was really overwhelmed by how amazing the whole experience was.
On my flight back I was crying the whole time; I never felt like that before and just couldn’t handle my emotions (much to the dismay of the people sitting next to me). Most of all I just didn’t wanna return to my dysfunctional family in Germany. It’s been my goal to move to Australia for some time now but after this experience I’m determined to move as soon as possible. It’s gonna take a lot of figuring stuff out and it won’t be easy but I’ll make it work.
Just wanted to get that out there I guess.
Edit: if someone happens to have a few tips and pointers for me regarding my plans they would be greatly appreciated
I’ve had friends tell me: we have no choice over where we were born and our blood relations. But we do have a choice of what family we create, what friends we keep, and where we live.
Well the ‘where we live’ is subject to fucktons of money or a first world passport that lets you travel anywhere visa-free and a good education that lets you speak English + enough uni degree paper to get a job offer overseas.
