Yeah, absolutely. I went through a rough time a few years back and Melbourne lost its sparkle for me. I really have tried to push past it, but seem to keep struggling with the same stuff. Since coming to the decision to leave, there’s been unexpected relief.

Oh wow. I have genuinely felt that reply.

Practical plan wise I’m considering UK Brighton and commuting to London for work. Am a pom and Principal in tech and finance trading so piss easy for me.

But what are you gonna do now that’s sparkle has gone? Where you off to?

  Sounds like a solid plan! Such a massive move though. Do you have a timeline sorted, or still settling all that?
  
  I’ll be heading back to my childhood city interstate. It doesn’t necessarily have the same sparkle that Melbourne once had, but is comforting and the built in support networks will make it feel less like an uphill battle.
