Know That Im Here

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:03:06 +1100

‘Coming out’ can be easy for some, but in this case extremely difficult for my best mate. I know from past experiences the heart wrenching/ stressful and difficult times that occur in the build up to telling your parents and loved ones. But ‘know that im here’ 100 percent of the way. Weather you need someone to let your anger/sorrow/relief/joy out on. Or to simply find a distraction from it all. Love you always

Pure Inspiration

Towards the end of last year i visited audrey kawasakis exhibition in melbourne at the outre gallery on elizabeth st. her work is truly breathtaking in my eyes. i envy her talent like you would not believe. the way she portrays her figures with her unique process of oil and graphite straight on wood is flawless. i was not lucky enough to meet her on the opening night of her melbourne show but regardless i will be following her upcoming works and exhibitions in future.

‘Ward by Ward’

After a few white wines with some friends we started discussing my workplace,and what it’s like to be placed in this specific field. we got into the harsh reality of what I face every shift. People are constantly dying of life threatening illnesses. To be honest working alongside sick patients does not get easier to cope with after years of working i’n the environment or less upsetting seeing them pass away after a long period of time or completely out of the blue. There are days that I just want to sit with the grieving families to comfort them for hours but we are forced to keep to ourselves and put on a brave face. Recently I watched a 21 year old spend her las few hours with her family and boyfriend i’n her ward. They were reminiscing on her life as a whole and significant happy memories they spent together. It was easily the saddest thing I had ever been confronted with.

For anyone around my agegroup who thinks their life is a mess and that they’re heading strait down hill, think again. To put you in a dying patients position for even an hour would automatically change your views on your own personal life. Although I do work in a depressing environment at times it has caused me to be the complete opposite. I have never been happier lately realizing how lucky the people I know and Myself are to be so healthy and living the great lifestyle we are so fortunate to have.

Next time you think its the end of the world, take a massive step back and think of the people with real problems.
