i am not

I'm not a cartographer but I can draw a fairly good mud map of Fremantle.

I'm not a connoisseur but I'd like to think I can pick a good coffee and a good beer a mile off.

I'm not coming "home" to Perth but I'd like to think in the near future I will make myself a home.

I feel an overwhelming pressure from somewhere to "find myself", whatever that means. The thing is, I don't need to. I know where I am both physically and emotionally. Case closed. I'd rather be discovered, dusted off, polished, held in the light and told, "wow, you're really something."

I know where I am but it's a strange place to be with an odd sense of confidence.

so it's been a while since we last chatted. I don't know what's happening with you. But so you know, our Han's cafe chat has been realised. For better or for worse. <3 ya
