Melbourne has better people, that's true. I feel a bit restricted living with my folks, they're actually really flexible when it comes to going out and stuff, but there's no places around me that make me happy. Where I live is incredibly depressing simply because it is so boring. Everything that was here that used to make me happy as a kid is gone. I hold my childhood very dear because of how blissfully happy I was (and hey, not many kids weren't) but it seems that it was some kind of dream now; my family friends moved out years ago, they tore down the pool I used to swim in, paved over the parks I used to play in, dozed the shopping centre I used to visit every week to help my dad with the shopping etc.
Also I don't have any money. I teach guitar to about 2 people, and all my attempts at advertising my lessons go unnoticed (which is weird, given I charge $15/h). If I had some money maybe I could check out some new music, or save for a holiday, and eventually, move out.
I have my goals set out but the path to them seems to promise more of the same. On top of that, I have a lot of school work to do between now and then. School work that decides weather or not I get a good job.
I really appreciate the advice, all of you. Helps put things into perspective, for sure. I know one day I'll dig through and find this thread and laugh about how much things have changed.
