I miss you guys.

I've been here at the farm for probably six months now, and while I love every second of the fresh air and nature and ability to yell at the clouds, I've been pretty much by myself aside from my grandma and aunt, plus whoever in my family comes to visit every now and then. I mean they're cool people and I've started to grow fonder of the middle aged worldview, but man does it get hard being the only young person around.

I mean, I guess I could put more effort into meeting new people, but it's kinda hard when you don't know anyone to go out and meet new people with in the first place, plus there's really only pubs and stuff to meet people in, which doesn't really appeal to me these days. My aunt semi-introduced me to one of her friend's daughters, and she was cool, but she lives in Sydney so we mostly just talk by text. I've tried using Tinder, but I figure I'm just too isolated because there's not many people on it. I've even included guys in my list, but most of 'em want to just hook up, which I'm not really down for. One positive of this is that I now truly understand just how thirsty males can be. I may have some friends from my Canberra days coming to visit in the summer, but that's a while away, so for the time being it's probably just gonna be me.

Other than this though I'm finding country life suits me more and more. It turns out I fucking love hiking - if you told that I would end up feeling this way a few years ago I probably wouldn't have believed you. Also, I've been reading heaps, mostly just from books that have been laying around, which is cool. Did you guys know that early Christianity was heavily influenced by Neo-Platonic philosophy? I didn't, until I read it.

Anyway I hope everyone is doing well as always.
