blessed

stephanie is blessed.
to have so many people who touch my life, in many little ways.

lulu
your understanding of my thoughts and feelings even from another continent astounds me, how we pull each other through on the same boat and brave the storm together. no one knows and understands me like you do, nor makes me laugh till its too hot to handle. i love you bestie. ps, you're not average.


rachel merrie chong chong
for being that listening ear when i least expect it. i miss you darl, and i can't wait to be back, drinkin whisky out of the bottle, not thinking about tomorrow! (and then drawing tic tac toe on your back)


charlene
for being the one and only person who cares so much, enough to want to sit and watch me cry my heart out. usually i cry alone because i'm proud like that but it actually felt darn good. no thanks can never be enough my awesome possem friend.


daniel osgodby
me guy bestie, you ze best. even though we don't speak as often as we do or should, i always know you got my back like i got yours. and when my world turns to grey, i know you will still somehow fart out a rainbow, if not a absinth shot. to my quiz night buddy who can drink shots after shots after shots and still survive to stagger to mcdonalds and catch the cab after 6am surcharge, cheers to that buddy and i call for another boatrace so i can beat more guys.


my john butler pascal
for putting the rythm back into my life in your simple hippie ways; spontaneous dancing and singing into torch lights, cooking awesome dinners which you catch especially crusty the crayfish, fellow waste of couch space over foreign films (to me at least) and for sitting through the WHOLE day of mixed touch. who knew tasteless rice bubbles without milk (pronounced mee-ilk) was so much fun popping and tossing and yum on nuttela on bread. ps, i still love milo better.


ine and anand
for the cold hard slaps of truth from prospectives ive never considered. the sense and truth that i've so stubbornly ignored or blind to see. like a rainbow after a storm, it was easier feeling unalone.

yaz
for taking charlene and i fishing. its bloody thereputhic, move over shopping theraphy. and for your kind compliments, you're my pillar of assurance.

my housemates; hani, morgan, paul, hans
for being the familiar faces i come home to everyday, like home away from home. who put up with my sulky self on my off days, when i'm just a waste of space on the couch over wii or movies after movies, leave me alone at scary movies late at night in the dark, watch me slice my thumb while making mojitoes/fingers and being cool about it, keeps my 6 o'clock simpsons spot on the couch for me. mexican night soon will be a blast.

skype!
for letting me connect with my family back home, seeing the face to the voice and my morning glory! :) i miss everyone, the safe santuary home is and its warmth admidst the crazy squeeling whining and laughter in the house of girls. am counting down the days till i'm back.


family
those that i see here once in awhile for catch ups over lunch, coffee or beer. its my escape whe the world gets hella crazy. vettie b, talking wogs and hogs over cheesy wedges, beer, wine, frengeliko as we hopped from como to windsor to burswood, made me feel hella better and normal.

kevin
you keep it real for me, dawg.

alyssa ann de souza
for just being along part of my life with cherishable memories as we grew up, studied together, played together, worked together, laughed and partied together. not many people can say 'i know her since i was 7', and its been hawsome.


hafizah hamzah
i miss your peaches, skinny ass. i can't wait to catch up with you when i'm back! gossip and updates. i miss you and our bus 23 trips.



when i'm down, i always come to think in my wandering silence.
how did i ever leave everyone i love behind?
then i've realised, i've been lucky to love.
and be loved.

to those that i've not mentioned, seen or heard from (and vice versa),
you're not forgotten.
and i'm certain our paths will cross one way or another.
because i'm truly blessed.
to have met so many beautiful souls in this lifetime.

and underneath it all,
i'm a happy contented girl just knowing this feeling.
that i'm blessed. <3
