Wow. Suddenly, it seems as though my vast and undefeated countdown has reached its 20s. That’s quite rad. I didn’t think I’d make it this far. I’d imagined having my rotting corpse found in the streets of Barsha 1 by an innocent delivery boy from the Thai takeaway down the road. I’d probably have died in search of a decent coffee to help wile away some of the torturous hours. I guess I haven’t explained what I’m counting down for, have I?
The Explanation:
Well, I’d been toying with the idea of leaving Dubai for some time. I’d been through a few things that had led me to this headspace and I’d also chickened out a few times. But then I went back to Cape Town for my dear friend Ashley’s wedding and met someone who made me realise on the spot that I had to get my ass home at any cost. I was suddenly without the crippling fear that had kept me from moving home before. And so, I’m moving back to the ever-lovely Cape Town. Job-wise, I thought I’d try my hand at freelancing, and maybe get more living done than I’ve previously been able to do.

Oh, and I recently acquired these shoes on SALE! They are shit-hot and just about the only heels I can walk in with any grace:
