at this moment in time ...

Every night I leave my bedroom blinds half open, this is because I love the view of the city lights in the dark, not for any particular reason but one of them is that I love how from my room the city is reduced to sprinkles of scattered lights.

That is a view of Perth city centre in western Australia. seven months ago at twenty something years old I packed up my bags and flew 19hours across the Indian ocean, actually its something that I had looked forward to for a very long time, and now here I am. Perth at first sight wasn't all too impressive for me, I had higher expectations but they were sort of dampened, I guess that's what happens when you only get snapshots of the city. But then again its not a terrible place to live, just not for me I guess. its here in Perth that I got to see the ocean for the first time, it was so beautiful that I was almost brought to tears, I could feel them burning hot at the back of my eyes. It was a moment of 'African girl meets ocean', I guess that is what happens when you from a landlocked country and never travelled that much before.

since that encounter I haven't been back to the beach again, its summer right now and almost desert hot but the thought of going to the beach is almost like a pipe dream when you are pressed for time, not like am missing out on much except for the view and serenity, I cant swim and the thought of sharks .... well let's just say am not the only one who's a) frightened of becoming a shark's morning or afternoon tea b) who just doesn't have enough time to go all the way to the beach.

This year will be my first Christmas away from home and also my first Christmas in summer, the thought of it just makes me miss the rains and the smell of the soil after it rains, its the most perfect weather for as it goes perfectly well with my love for a good back and snuggling with a duvet while sipping on some hot beverage *dreamy* . For now I've got summer and a heart full of dreams,  from where am standing right now things might seem impossible but with faith and the insurance of the God's word, I see great things that excite me, its the beauty of seeing with your real eyes, looking at the unseen. And as I said, Perth really isn't for me, so already devising my next stop ....................
