I’ve had a lot of thought and I now believe I will stay in Brisbane. I just can’t stand nor justify moving away from my daughter back to a more expensive location with the overcrowded trains I hated while there. I will just have to make it my priority to move out to a better location in Brisbane North and make more friends and socialise more.
I found out today I have at least three friends in the North Brisbane area all of whom would visit if I were closer to them, so that’s a great start.
As for catching up with my Sydney friends. I will make more of an effort to fly down every 2-3 months for long weekends and catch up with them. I will also drive home to visit my parents at least twice a year, fly to visit my sister at least once a year and from time to time drive back up to Gladstone and visit my friend Tharyn up there.
All in all, I think this will be a very good solution to my problems.
