prologue.to.Elgin.St

Never ever have i ever been so close to tears somewhat all the time
Never ever have i been as emo as i have been during the past few months (kill me)
Never ever will i relive the days in Melbourne.

Melbourne was home, for four wholesome years. In hindsight, i have spent almost all my growing years there, evolving as a person, acquiring the taste i have today of men, clothes and food. Guiding me to law and direction in life. In retrospect, I marvel (and fail to imagine) how I would be today, if i had not spent those years in Melbourne. I would not have met all the wonderful people i have met along the way.

This is it. Melbourne, reduced to bits and pieces of an array of memories. All the things i never did before, and probably never will again.
Changing lanes to Law - best decision i ever made for myself
meeting the love of my life
blissful trips to Sydney which were always too short for liking
coping with the realisation that i am no longer top dog
shivering in the cold and erratic Melbourne wind
walking barefoot back from Crown
heart to heart talks with A, the only other person awake at 6
learning to cook something other than maggi
finally being able to be punctual, neat, and organised
no longer wishing my hair to be straight
loving the waves in my hair God gave me *see above
Shanghai! oh shanghai.
seeing aliciakeys, nickelback, hoobastank, sarah m, switchfoot and foofighters live
working in a cafe, wearing black and an apron
earning my first dollar *see point above
getting my first Bettinas with my hard earned pay
learning to make coffee the right way
a car accident which still haunts me each time i drive on the Hway.
crying at airports the most i have ever cried
smoking pot and disliking it
Making friends i never thought i would grow to love half as much

Things i will miss..
Strolling in great weather with my ipod blasting in my ears
Talking over nothing with my babes
snowboarding
being able to wear boots and dress fashionably
being independent and free
breakfast and freshly squeezed orange juice at Trotters
car washing in the middle of the night @ Spencer St
midnight McDonalds and frozen coke
coffee chit chats
the friends which were a mere phonecall, walk or minute drive away

What a year it's been, all we've seen, all our hopes and dreams Im looking forward to what new doors open and life's offers from hereon!!
