It is absolutely bizarre to think about but it has been one whole year since I landed in Australia. 365 days. A full orbit around the sun. A lot has changed in that year and I am very fortunate for all of it.
My best friend once told me that I am intimidating. I was shocked. I had to ask for clarification a few times because I don’t think I am intimidating at all. I’m awkward, easily entertained and fiercely loyal. I’m obsessed with Ed Sheeran and have an insatiable desire to travel. I had no idea why any of those traits made me intimidating. But then I thought about it and I have asked other friends if they understand the comment and agree and quite a few do. I guess the intimidation must come from being independent? That I will speak my mind within reason and that I am 100% myself without any qualms?
I made the choice a year and a half ago to move back to Pittsburgh. I don’t regret it one bit. Okay, maybe I regret slightly how much I pay for rent but that’s okay. I love the city and I like being out on my own. However, being away from family means that I only have friends to rely on for coffee, restaurant and movie dates. Or, I have myself. I have NO issues going to eat by myself or shopping or anything else and I wish more people would feel empowered to do the same. Here are my reasons why it is great to be your own date!
