Despite travelling through the airport so frequently, I can’t help but feel butterflies in my stomach every time.
Learning my triggers

While I consider myself to be in a much better place than what I used to be, I still find myself discovering new triggers in my normal day-to-day that can still take me by surprise.

I have noticed that I am finding it increasingly difficult to just sit and be.

Call me a millennial, a lazy youth of today or simply an awkward person but, I have never been very good at phone calls. For that reason, I can find them stressful.

I have family all over Australia and the current Covid situation is quite worrying. What will the future of Covid look like?

It is exciting news! Australia will host the 2032 Olympics in the Brisbane region. Even though it is still far away, I am already excited.
