so, i quit my job, sold my car, said goodbye to all my friends, expecting to fly to sydney yesterday.backpack packed and everything, yet for some reason my visa hasnt been finalised - no reason or correspondance and ive tried chasing them to no avail.
It feels like my dreams are being dangled in front of me just out of reach.
Anybody else struggling to make new things happen?
its driven me competely mad and im at my wits end!

Tell yourself it will get better, over and over, in the morning and at night everyday for a while, and it will. smile

I'm gonna cut you up so bad, you gonna wish I ain't cut you up so bad.

cheers guys hug

- well after another night of checking the visa update site, they still havent finalised it, they put me on hold for an hour then it rang off, the second time i rang it just cut off outright, and i've emailed them again with no answer.
is it wrong to spend the day in pyjamas just coz you're fed up?

No, you should absolutely spend the day in pyjamas when you are fed up! And big fluffy slippers! And you must eat loads of comfort food!
