Farewell Dunedin & 2012

2012 has almost come to an end. This will most likely be my last post for this year - I plan on spending the next week relaxing with family and dreaming up new plans for 2013.
I've got some big things planned, both personal and professional goals, and I'm excited to start working on them!
As I write this I am sitting in my new bedroom, in my new home, in my new city. I am so happy to be living back in Wellington; it's such a vibrant, beautiful city, and it's one of the places where I actually feel at home.
I have left Dunedin for good. I was there for five years - I moved from Australia to Dunedin when I was 17 to start University. So much has happened in these past years. I've truly grown so much as a person.
In Dunedin I started to redefine who I was, and who I wanted to be. I chose to be an artist, and no matter how unclear and tough that road may be, I knew that I had to follow my creativity.
I found faith again -- faith in myself but most importantly faith in Everything. I fell in love, opened myself up and jumped feet first into a world of possibility.
I built a home there.
But nothing lasts forever, and I'd been feeling for a while as if I'd outgrown Dunedin. It was time to move on and to explore new possibilities and adventures.
I'm excited for 2013, and everything that it will bring.
Here's to the new year!
