Hi everyone
My two-week holiday in Queensland came to an end yesterday, and I feel incredibly sad having to come back home to NSW and having to be away from my partner (they/them) who lives in Queensland. My partner and I have been in a long-distance relationship for over a year, and we finally met in person on this holiday. I've been in two previous long-distance relationships, and they were rough and I struggled to be with them in person for different reasons, but this time was just so different, and it was an overall very positive experience. I truly felt at home being with my partner, and now I just feel so incredibly sad being away from them. Does anyone have any advice on coping in a situation like this? I'm hoping to go back up to Queensland again in a few weeks time, but it all just feels overwhelming right now and I'm really missing them.
I also really fell in love with Queensland and quickly adapted to how things worked there, which has made me change my mind about relocating to Victoria. But since I'm graduating from University, I'm quite torn about what I should do with my life; a part of me wants to pursue further study and pick up a casual or part-time job, but I don't know if that's the right thing for me to do. Plunging straight into a full-time role sounds really overwhelming, and the job market is very competitive and I've noticed most roles I'm after mostly offer casual or part-time jobs.
I think overall, I just feel very upset being away from my partner and overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do with my future. I know these are normal/expected feelings, but I would really love some advice or even if you had a similar experience, I'd love to hear about that.
Thank you for reading,
