Guest guest66832 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It's a funny thing but only ten days away from leaving for Sydney I now find it incredible just how much of my life going to Australia has taken up. It really does become an obsession, an unhealthy one in my opinion. Maybe the people who go for it are just really competitive and the fact that it is such a hard thing to do makes us all the more determined to do it. Anyway putting it all into perspective, the thing I have learned from the last four years is that this thing can totally take over your life. That is a bad thing. My advice to anyone still going after a visa is live your life, where you are and enjoy it the best you can while still going for your dream. I know how hard this is from personal experience, but looking back now I wish I had not been quite so focused on just getting back down there and taken the time out to enjoy the experiences and people around me whilst going through the last few years.

Guest guest66832 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 There's a lot of living to do while waiting for a visa, or waiting to be eliglbe for a visa. I used to think that I wouldn't start having a life till I was in Oz but we have to make the most of every day no matter where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Definitely, Sometimes i feel like im limbo land trying to find a sponsor and not being able to get on with life here, it probably sounds stupid. So we've decided if things havent changed by half way through August then we're going to book the holiday that we kept putting off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest66832 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I know only too well that feeling of being in limbo, my facebook status for ages read, "Neither here nor there", meaning I wasn't living a life while I was in the U.K. and I wasn't in the place that I wanted so much to be in. Maybe I'm talking from the perspective of someone that is shortly on their way back, but I do think that I would have had a better time if I had just relaxed a little about the whole thing and got on with life whilst waiting.

Ha Ha RobinOz you could be writing our biographies. Our lives have been on hold for the last 9 months. Every day I am doing something related to getting us to Oz, whether it be making notes from advice on PIO and/or general research on Oz. We have become obsessed with it, which I agree is not healthy. We have only told our immediate family and v close friends so find it incredibly difficult to let "off steam" - Thank God for PIO. I honestly don't know how some people have managed to keep going for years, although that may be us at this rate LOL. We just laugh. You have to, otherwise you would go round the twist. Good Luck on your new life Down Under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
