I’m going home.
Come April 28th, I’ll be strapped aboard a 6AM flight, bound for Minneapolis by way of Sydney and Los Angeles.

And so it was, that on April 28, 2014, I was undertaking the same itinerary. I didn’t simply leave Australia. I moved away from a country, a life, and a lover I had all adapted to call my own. It’s overwhelming. Emotional. Sublimely beautiful in a heartbreaking fashion.

This will be my full circle journey–my do over. An opportunity to do this routine again, but with a dignity, wisdom, and purpose that hadn’t yet evolved before.

&I feel ready to cry already.
