I'm a bit undecided about what to do, I love NZ, but the idea of going home keeps cropping up more often.

I don't know what to do.

..maybe don't do anything until you do know what to do and feel it's right...hmm, I don't know when you have to apply to have your visa extended..?..

..yeah, but that's just..'at this stage'..you've done it before and you know that feeling will pass...it's just part of the whole process and can be interpreted as 'letting go' just as easily as you may feel it's pulling you in a certain direction....

..if you don't have to apply to have your visa extended yet, maybe just give it a few more weeks to decide...and in the meantime, try not to think about it too much and just enjoy what you have and see how it feels when the decision has to be made....

..don't worry, we'll console Marc if you do come back...
