'sup everyone I'm back from my travels and back at work today before another conference. Absolutely loved my road trip and the sun and nature and helping out the family I care about. Nice to feel connected and part of something bigger. Life back in Melbourne feels awfully lonely in comparison. No closer to working out what I want to do with my life, but definitely a renewed conviction to get out there in nature and refill the tank more often. I do want to spend less time on the phone and more time being in life, with all its bumps and warts. Feels like having to detox or going to rehab because the urge to retreat into one's phone is so strong, coming back here...
Welcome back!
