Everyone has a plan in life, until they get punched in the face…

fighting my way up the ranks

Back to reality

On my return to Australia, its time for a fresh start. I gave up so much to go to Thailand. Being a fighter is all about the sacrafices we make. It’s about giving up your weeknights, your weekends. It’s about constantly challenging yourself, and bettering yourself not only as a fighter but as a person. One of the best analogies I read about fighting is that when you are fighting, the volume on everything else in your life gets turned down. So true.

I’m writing this on the plane as we speak. Just thought I’d mention that one of the things I’ll miss most about Thailand are the dirt cheap meals. Jetstar wants to charge me $15 AUD for a meal, that’s over 4oo Baht for a shitty airplane meal. Gone are the days of 30 Baht meals L.

As for plans to return to Thailand? Definitely. Now that the novelty of being back home has worn off, its almost as if my perception of reality has changed. It almost feels as if being back home is a dream, and that Thailand was reality. Strange…
