I step out at Flinders Street Station, feel Melbourne's chilly cold and I smile. Knowing that it's been 5 years since I've come and I have a bed, friends, knowledge of cafes like Seven Seeds, a design studio to call my own and I say "no worries" like a local. XX Kish.

- Eating with my friends
- Crying with my family
