Yesterday we drove through Melbourne, a city that for me has sweet and sour memories.
I landed there in March 2020 hoping to finally make my Australian dream come true.. for years I dreamt of working here on a working holiday VISA, making money to be able then to enjoy this huge country.
I had planned EVERYTHING, for years.
So when I finally stepped in Australia I was so ready to make all my plans a reality.
But fate had something different in store for me.
We all know what happened in 2020 and obviously I was forced to fly back home in Italy being jobless and homeless here in Australia.
So saying I was heartbroken is an understatement. Not only my dream failed, but also my chances of trying again in the future were none cause you can only do it once.
And Melbourne was the background of my big hopes being broken. I remember me wandering its streets hopelessly. I had applied for an infinite number of jobs and all of them went denied. So although being a stunning city, the blue memories kind of ruined its beauty in my eyes.
Until yesterday.
4 years later. I was there again. Trying to make a reality an even bigger dream. Actually my lifelong dream. Making YouTube videos has been my dream since I was probably 15yo and now I am actually back in the city where my heart was broken, trying to make that dream come true.
I would have never thought this could be the case.
And thinking about it, I’m even more scared now cause this YT dream is even more unattainable than it was the working in Australia one. And yet I’m here with Angie trying.
And I don’t know where we’ll end up, but honestly I don’t even care.
We’ve having fun along the way.
I’ve experienced many failures in life, but if those brought me here, I’d do them all over again tomorrow.
I hope this blog post will be a nice reminder that we never know what life has in store for us. And that’s okay.
