Ive officially been in Melbourne for 3 months now

An update on my life in Melbourne is probably long overdue, but i just can't find the energy and inspiration to write one, it takes too much effort, you know? All I can say really is that it feels like much longer than 3 months. It feels like ive been living in Melbourne for 3 years. Everything is so familiar to me, its crazy to think that just 3 months ago, I did not know this city at all, nor her me. But sometimes, when i lie in bed trying to fall asleep, I still try to picture myself lying in my bed in Auckland. I really do miss the place that Ive come to call home for 13 years.

But, coming to Melbourne was definitely the right decision. I've grown as a person, and broadened my knowledge of the world, as well as my cooking skills ;D
In only 3 months, Melbourne has already given me something that Auckland couldnt do in 4 years: an internship. Although its unpaid, im very excited at the prospect of finally being able to work in a job related to my field. Its time for me to prove myself to the world what im really made of.

I suppose another reason the past 3 months has seemed so long is because of how tough it is. Its been a really hard 3 months. Sometimes, I felt like everything was falling apart and the loneliness and the stress and the pressure and everything weighing down on me threatened to overwhelm me. But each time, my girlfriend and family were there to support me, and they would bring me back from the precipice of self-destruction. Im so glad that this semester is finally drawing to an end. Its been a long and hard battle, and im looking forward to the holidays.

One of my main concerns now is my health. Ive been sleeping and eating very irregularly and they're bound to take a toll on my body, whether i realise it or not. I really dont want to die of cancer when im 40 years old, so this is something i really have to fix quickly. Now that things are slowing down a bit, hopefully ill be able to turn things around.

Other than that, theres not much else to say. Ive met more new people and solidified existing relationships, but on a whole, i havent been going out much at all. Im not really a party person anyways, im more of a nerd who likes to stay home and play games and watch movies, so i guess thats okay with me.

That will be all for now. Looking forward to going back to Auckland to see my family and my friends. Until then, stay safe and stay cool my dear readers. Peace out =]
