Incase you didn’t know already, I’m back in Auckland, New Zealand. My goodness is it warm here or what?! I am kind of sad but kind of happy to be back. Both at the same time. New York was amazing and the flight back wasn’t so bad, we stopped in L.A for one night and had an amazing home-made meal cooked for us by a professional chef. It was a good night – a good, good night. (Like that Black Eyed Peas song.)

But back to what I was saying before. I’m happy and sad to be back. It’s weird being on a big overseas experience and returning to a place where basically nothing has changed. I don’t know what I expected to have been different, but everything that was left here is still here. (The horrible-ness in Christchurch aside.) Auckland just… lives on. You disappear for 7 weeks, come back and it’s the same. It makes you feel unproductive. It makes you think maybe you need a real job. It makes you wonder where all the time went. It makes you question your existence damnit! (I’ve always been a bit overdramatic, you’ll get used to it.)

So how does one combat this mid-life-crisis-esque feeling? Good question. I don’t know what normal people do, but secretly over the past week I have begun to adopt this approach called ‘Do Something About It!’ (The name is in it’s working stages for now, don’t you worry.) So what does ‘Doing Something About It!’ entail exactly? Well readers, to start off, it involves a lot of changing my state of mind. No more over-thinking, just doing! No more doing things because you feel like you have to, no more FOMO, no more not-doing because of what people think, no more! Be a less crazy and less retarded version of Charlie Sheen! Do what Katherine wants to do! Stop complaining! Blog about what you want to blog about! Forget about those people who say mean things! They don’t have to read it if they don’t want! Fight for what you want! Try things without pre-empting! Maybe instead of writing things off because they ‘will probably be lame’, just be open minded! You don’t know if they will be if you don’t even go! In fact, maybe I will like tomatoes if I just try them! (Though, I doubt it.) Take a chance!!! Stop being scared of failure! If you didn’t like your service, tell them instead of internally complaining about it!

Well that is the theory anyhow. It’s a bit Tony Robbins but so far it’s working okay. It’s tricky and it’s going to be hard to change those deep-set ways, but I think it’s going to be good for me.

I’ll let you know how it goes. I mean, there’s no harm in trying, right?
