Sydney, Australia

Saying good bye doesn’t get any easier with times…especially to family and dear people in your life. When things in life happen, even though you are expecting it, it still seems so sudden. It is as if you are in slow motion in months leading to it, yet when you actually get there, it seems it was a blink of an eye. I have been preparing for the move to Australia, for what at times seemed forever, yet once I actually got on that plane to LA, it seemed like it was just few days ago that I first found out about it. And as the move drew closer, the more aware I became of the people and places that I was leaving behind. Even the little things like that late night scroll with my dogs or walking through the empty Park Ave for the zillionth time, it all seemed like it was put under magnifying lenses of my memories. And right then, I knew that I was really going to miss it. Excitement about what laid ahead, mixed with the emotions of people and life that stayed behind half way across the world, it all came together inside of me as the plane ascended above the clouds.
