It's on baby!

I arrived home at the end of April expecting to stay for 2 weeks before I fly off again, and before I knew it, it has been 2 months already. People keep asking me why I'm still here, wasn't I suppose to be travelling the world or something? Well, I'm going, it's just that it isn't all that easy leaving your home. Packing your things into boxes, whilst at the back of your mind you know that you will not see these things of yours again for a year or two is a weird feeling. I'm known for my clutter and "stuff" in my abode, and its amazing how I managed to pack most of the things I want to keep into under 10 boxes (I know it's still a lot but it's a huge achievement for me already!). What was most amazing today is that while packing my precious beloved shoes, I realised I didn't feel as attached to them as I did before. Me and SHOES. OMG my jaw almost dropped when I decided not to pack some of my favourite shoes into storage. At the end of the day, it's just stuff. What is important to us we hold in our hearts, not in our suitcase. Which makes me wonder again about the way I packed my suitcase... Maybe I have to repack again... *sigh* I strongly dislike packing!!! Despite being able to let go of my material possessions, it is still very difficult to leave this beautiful country filled with all the wonderful people whom I love dearly. South Africa is my home and that will never change. It is destiny that bought all of you into my life for all these years and I know it will bring us together again in the future. Packing mission almost completed, now pending the completion of my diving courses then I'm outta here! Sent via my BlackBerry
