i now use whitening toothpaste
i now separate my rubbish
i dont leave empty milk cartons in the fridge
i still download tabs and learn new songs
i still buy cds
and i still feel nice in clean sheets
i still like spending half an hour when shaving my legs
and i still like picking nail polish off
i love getting hand written mail
and i cant sleep when im excited
i've learnt to be more adaptive
i'm ready to forgive
and i feel empowered by the distance


in two months i am going home to Australia
and i cant wait to see my life again
with these better eyes
