Being in Australia has changed me for the better. To think that i very nearly didn't come because of a boy. My ex changed his mind so much about whether he wanted to be with me and i got caught up in it all. I also was worried that I was running away from my feelings when in actual fact coming away as done me the world of good; not just realising I am better off without my ex neither. Here are some things i have been able to do:
stayed in a room with people I dont know,
lived with people i didnt know very well,
stayed in backpackers including a mixed dorm,
one night i stayed in the room with 5 strange boys,
travelled in a foreign country on my own,
went white water rafting,
gone on organised trips by myself,
walked into a bar on my own to meet friends,
set up a meeting with a charity on my own,
speant a lot of time by myself,
although it fell through i was going to stay with a girl i'd only known for a week,
realised i didnt want a boyfriend and i prefer being single,
i am not ashamed of my anorexia and sometimes its easier to tell people about it,
ate calamari and brie for the first time,
had fresh prawns and fish cooked/killed in the restaurant,
ate on my own in a restaurant,
learnt not to be wound up so easily.
What does worry me is that I have changed but my friends haven't and whether or not i will put the new things i have learned into practise at home.
Its so amazing to read all that you've done. Your friends maybe havent changed, but you have, and you are you, so you CAN put it all into practice.
