Almost a year after leaving Melbourne, I would like to come back there quickly when the borders open again. I've found the good balance between the city and nature. One of the best qualities of life for me. I'm not far from Asian countries. I've taken flight so many times and it's not a problem to come back France if I need to visit my family.
" I really don't want to give you this goodbye card... But I believe that this not forever goodbye... I strongly believe that we could meet in UK or France or Korea or one of the countries in Africa. Even if we're apart, you'll always be with me in my heart! Always welcome anywhere!!! " ~ Laila's words from the last card before my departure.
At first sight, this year was so s*** because of bushfires, my rape experience by my french ex-boyfriend, sexual harassment and Covid-19 but we are always stand up! Normally, I should hate men, but I've decided to sit down and figure out the root of the issue between female and male energy.Is it common that a woman has to behave like a man to survive and to be free in this patriarchal society? Macho guys dislike me, and I give them all my love! Haha! They are scared about my independence, and they don't want to tell me... They know that women have power in this world. They don't want to admit it. They don't have choice to accept when I'm face to them. No man submits us!
On second thoughts, I prefer to focus on positive things and all our beautiful memories in Australia, despite the pandemic. I stayed around Melbourne and in the center because of lockdown restriction. Australians are responsible! It was more evolved and mature. Here, the video of my travels and the place where I lived. I used Dji Osmo Camera.
“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” ~ Anthony Bourdain
I went there for my project: if I can create an ABN (Australian Business Number) for photography. There are lots of audiovisual production businesses there and professional tools are not expensive! Melbourne is near beach, I prefer countryside to the city because of life underwater! I can meditate and relax close the sea and the sunset.
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” ~ Terry Pratchett
About the quality of life... Good health, good foods and sports are habitual. You have the free fitness room, swimming pool, jacuzzi and cinema included in the building. If you want to practice in the club, you can pay your class just before the beginning. No need to engage in the contract. Your salary is not per month but per week! I think it's better because you don't wait every month to count your money, to know if you miss or not. You are more flexible here! You can move every week to another place!
“ We live in a world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open .” ~ Jawaharial Nehru
I've ate every cultures foods because of the melting pot here. You have lots of migrants, it's a turn over. People always move. We have time to cook between women during the lockdown. French foods are so different, it's not the same taste. I'm not vegan but I eat the less meat I can. I want to respect our planet. Sometimes, one banana is enough for one day! I eat only when I need now.
“And then there is the most dangerous risk of all – the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” ~ Randy Komisar
I have a lot of wonderful things to tell about them... At the first sight, thank you for everything! You are so strong, brave, unique and lovely! You are my family of Melbourne! I will always keep you with me in the instax picture behind my smartphone! Always in my heart and memories! I never forget our cooking, baking and Sunday party between us during the lockdown!
From left to right... I present you, Camila (Chile), Laila (Korea), Yalina or me (Vietnam/China), my husband Jack (from Titanic movie), Pear (Thailand), Ava (Malaysia) and Ruby (Colombia). I know that one day, I will see you again...somewhere in the world! When we are accomplished in our passions, dreams and love! Who will be the first to be married? Haha! What do we have in common and why our paths have crossed? We are warriors team! We struggle for freedom, our independence, our dreams, no people submits us, free to love without judgment and just being Human. We have consciousness about life, emotions and kindness! Love each other for whom we are: we all shine like suns! I believe in you and myself to continue to live and to make our dreams come true! We have all the big ambitions that could change the world!
In the second thoughts, when I was depressed, Laila was over here for me. Thanks to her, I lived in the same apartment. I have success to escaping my ex-boyfriend. She accompanied me to the police office and helped me with her english!
I don't hate men because of one guy! I keep hoping because I already was in a beautiful relationship in my past. I know that love is the most powerful and incredible feeling in this world!
“We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free.” ~ Kavita Ramdas
And then, the Covid-19... I had to come back in France because of my visa and my complaint. I need to see my family and my friends also. I've determined to expatriate and change my life soon as possible.
We don't say "farewell", we say "until we meet again". To be continued...
