The art of perspective 💫
Moving across the world means something different to me than to most people. It’s not a clean cut - it’s learning how to exist in two places at once, while shifting my main focus to Australia more and more.
Australia will be home. Germany will still be home, too. I’ll come back every year, spend parts of my summers here and see the people I love - but somehow I’ll always be physically in one place while a part of me is somewhere else.
In a way, almost every relationship in my life will be long distance. When I’m in Australia, I’ll miss Germany and my friends and family. When I’m in Germany, I’ll miss my partner, his family, the people and the life I’m building in Australia.
And yes, that can feel incredibly heavy, it already does. To me, changing my perspective helps.
I’m not leaving everyone behind - our relationships get to exist beyond proximity.
I’m not losing my home - I’m expanding my definition of it.
And maybe having people and places all around the globe that I love enough to miss isn’t something to be sad about. Maybe it’s an incredible privilege. 🫀
The way I see it there is incredible change ahead - my focus shifts heavily towards the place I want to grow old in. But I’m not replacing one life with another.
I’m expanding it. ✨
