One year ago today I had finished packing… and I couldn’t stop crying. I was leaving Germany and heading to Australia, with an uncertain return date. I know, who would cry when they are going to Australia? Trust me, going there wasn’t the problem. In fact, I was about to live one of my dreams!
The reason for my tears was leaving my partner, Stig, behind. Our relationship was quite new and all my plans had been made before we had met. But I knew I wanted to be with him and being apart didn’t seem right. Choosing between Australia and Stig was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. Leaving could put our relationship at risk, though staying didn’t guarantee things would work out either. But staying meant giving up an opportunity that I felt I had to take. I just had a hunch about it, and I usually do what my heart tells me to do.
In the end, I guess my decision was the right one, since I got both! I went to Australia, fell in love with the country, came back to Stig, and I fall in love with him daily.
Stig is the most amazing person I could be with. He is kind, helpful, funny, romantic and caring. He helps me in every possible way with creating my business, from designing my website to encouraging me to be better every day. He drives me to the photo shoots locations, poses for me when I need to try some lights, assists me at Weddings, makes funny faces for children to laugh…
Sometimes decisions are hard to make, specially when you’re leaving your partner behind. In my experience, it’s simple: when you know, you know.
And on top of everything… he is so handsome! I am the luckiest girl!
