Just before I left for my holiday to Singapore in December, I had to move everything out of my room so that the new flooring can be put in, and the walls be painted. Whilst moving all my stuff out to the living room, I manage to clear out a lot of junk and things that I had perhaps held on to for a little bit too long.

I was merciless, and I was proud of it. Everything that no longer mattered went into the recycling bin or became garbage. After I got back from my holiday and started moving things back into the room again, I threw out some more stuff – things that did not pass the second time of filtering.

Then today, I got a new laptop for work. All spanking new and pristined, ready to be deflowered. As how it was when I moved stuff around in and out of my room, I deleted lots of files and programs as I transferred my data across to the new machine.

Both of the above felt good and almost soul cleansing. It got me thinking: do I want to move myself out of my comfort zone in Perth to do a real soul cleansing? Or at the very least do I want a change in my work environment? Being comfortable has been good the past few years but lately I’m beginning to feel cramped in. I like my life now but at the same time I feel restless, like I should be doing something more or different.

I haven’t quite figure out the direction that I want to head in yet. I think my family is ready and ok with me mixing things up a little but the question is, am I? One thing’s for sure though: it is really hard to leave home, even if I’m beginning to want to wander.
