Yes lonely as f\u2026..No, not that bad.<\/p>\n<p>Am I depressing you? Do you think you are about to hear me whining and whingeing about my day??<\/p>\n<p>Well I\u2019m not about to. I am in Queensland-Australia. What could be wrong? I guess it is a reality check. I have been travelling for a while. Now I have just started a new job.<\/p>\n<p>Do you ever stop to think how weird it is that we are kept from our families and loved ones because of work? My girlfriend\u2019s parents are a good example. They are a very loving couple and should be able to spend more time together I think.<\/p>\n<p>Have you seen this before? It is kind of weird to look at relationships and such from the outside. If I put my troubles to the side for a while, I can see how some guys have it much tougher. Have you ever seen this? Have you ever been involved in something like this? Are you still in a sticky situation like this?<\/p>\n<p>Well, life wasn\u2019t meant to be fair or easy. Nobody said that. We can however make it easier for ourselves. Being in Queensland-Australia is cool. I have left my home state for over two years and I\u2019m home now. This is where I was born and grew up.<\/p>\n<p>So does this mean I should or must stay here my whole life? No, I don\u2019t think so. This place and the great continent of Australia will always be here. My friends maybe won\u2019t be. That is a thing of travelling. I mean I certainly noticed it. I came back from travelling and it seemed EVERYONE had either had kids or gotten married or both while I was away.<\/p>\n<p>Queensland-Australia is a great place to grow up. It is also a great place to travel from. I know I had a very different look on this place after I came back. I saw maybe the problems that are here more. I also saw how many GREAT things there are here too though.<\/p>\n<p>Have you got a really cool place in your heart? Maybe a place you grew up or lived a large part of your childhood in?? I know I have.<\/p>\n<p>So, I guess you still don\u2019t know what my problem is\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Well it is nothing really. It is normal for humans to get a tad sentimental at times. Everyone does it.<\/p>\n<p>I am in a great place and wouldn\u2019t be anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to add in a bit here today about freedom. Freedom is something that we thing we all have. I think that isn\u2019t true however. Our freedom is generally limited by how much money we have. We have to get up and go to work because our bank balance is low.<\/p>\n<p>I think we should all strive for what we want in life and don\u2019t hold back. If there is something you want to do, don\u2019t be a wussie and do it.<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to add a bit of inspiration into today\u2019s blog. Let the melancholy thoughts drift away\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>Thankyou,<\/p>\n<p>Colin Burnett<\/p>\n<p>www.queensland-down-under.com<\/p>\n<p>HAVE you also seen this great new MONEY-MAKING <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/blogging\/\">blogging<\/a> system??<\/p>\n<p>\/almostasecret.php?id=colinburnett<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, how are you today?
