realising what you can live with
being out here in a remote area, where there is a small grocery store and a hot food bar that operates on we-close-when-we-run-out hours - and THAT IS ALL - where there are no shops, cafes, restaurants or any way to go out at night, now that's been tough for me (and i'm only doing 3 weeks!)
it's that I have realised that I like having a lot of people around me, nightlife for people watching, menulog for dinner and clothes to be shopped. I like my stuffs and places.
this community has real strength and it is beautiful. but, how do you live with nothing! (now, I don't want to sound like silly city girl, because we all know Canberra isn't a big city). I've become so used to all of those modern amenities and now I miss them terribly. and it's not that I want all of my possessions, it's that I want to be able to walk around at night time, visit a bar, eat at a restaurant and feel my freedoms.
but i'll be forever grateful for this experience.
