So I got word today that makes all the plans I've made the past few months official: I got my visa and am moving to Australia. It has brought back the excitement I thought I already lost, having waited so many months without word or certainty. And somehow part of the excitement has already turned into fear, terror and anxiety.
I've never been away from home for extended periods of time and being so far away from my comfort zone scares me a little. The thought of home being a plane ride away, and not just a place I can drive to, can be unnerving. But still the promise of a new city and new adventures, the opportunity to prove to myself that I can sustain myself, and the possibilities for personal growth and development, far outweigh shaky nerves.
You can't hit a game-winning buzzer-beater if you're too scared to miss, right? So here I go taking my shot with fingers crossed that I don't miss.
