#11 Me, myself and I

I was choosing the title for this post and deciding what to talk about when I thought about the song "Me, myself and I". Why would these four words tell something about my experience here in Australia?
Because I realised it's really just me, myself and I. It's all about me (don't worry, I was already egocentric before leaving Italy).
It seems strange to say, but it's real. I can make the difference in all the things happening to me. I admit that the last month and a half has been quite difficult. My host mum yesterday suggested me to list all the things that made me happy in the last two months, I'll list some of them here:
-the landscapes
-the school
-the people

But, above all, I noticed that I changed a lot. I'm becoming able to solve problems by myself and the language is not a big deal anymore. I feel the independence and the freedom, but at the same time the responsibility of my actions. Every day here is precious and a smile can really make the difference. I found out a lot of skills I didn't know I had, but at the same time these two months revealed a couple of weaknesses.
I'm quite sure that I won't come back home the same, and I don't know if I should be happy or scared about that. It's all so confusing. In one week I'll get to open the letter to myself I wrote 4 months ago. It will be an important moment, marking the fact that I'm halfway through this experience. I can't realise that more than two months are already gone.

This was a short post but it was quite important for me to recap all the feelings currently in my mind.

See you soon
