Freedom's just another word for nothing to lose, nothing is worth nothing but it's free.

Is it the future already? My friends are jerks for being busy and so uncontactable but then it's probably because my attention has been so divided so who's the jerk here I think it's me. I have made friends here, but it doesn’t mean I miss the ones back home any less. It’s still hard for me to get a sense of reality, especially when I still feel surprised every morning to be waking up somewhere not in my room. Food is the main occupying thought of my mind, and I fall in love a little bit every time someone cooks for me. I miss swimming, but even bathing has become a chore. Psyching yourself to love the cold only works when you’re huddled next to the heater. For some weird reason I drink a lot of tea here. People here are psychotically smart, but then so am I so there hah who am I kidding. My skin is dry as if I have been sitting under the sun the last two and a half days when I haven’t even seen the damn sun. And a constant diet of jelly beans does not make you happy, it makes you want to cry. Everything here is like in Bizarro.

Anyways: now here I am. In Canberra, the city that sleeps at 5. This future is not how I pictured it, but I’m tired, so it’ll do.
