On My Own, But Not Alone

It's nearly been a month since I packed up my bags, got on a plane, and 24 hours later, arrived in Sydney, Australia for my study abroad experience.

In that time I have made friends, seen some sights, experienced Sydney nightlife, and began my studies. I have 4 more months to do and see a lot more, but this is a start.
One thing I can say so far is that this is incredibly uncomfortable in the best way. I have taken myself out of my comfort zone and moved across the planet. I think about home everyday, and how it is all so different here, but in the end I will have done something huge. Become comfortable in an uncomfortable situation.
Reminds me of a scene from GIRLS when Hannah is commissioned to write an e-book, and the editor has this on his wall.

Right now I am so far away from my comfort zone; my friends, family, hometown, college. I love and appreciate all those things and people so much. But now is my time to be alone, to grow up and out and forward.
