The one moment in my life that I can actually recall listening to my heart and following my
gut feelings was on deciding where to further my education abroad and I am glad I did because I cannot imagine myself studying anywhere else in Australia but here in Adelaide.
I had more tempting offers like University of Melbourne,New South Wales and Western Australia that even provided Sociology as one of the Art Subjects yet for some reason, I felt that the only state I had not visited before was the right one.
...and I was right.

1. It's not as hectic as Melbourne and not as metropolitan as Sydney.
Quiet. Quant. Yet has enough entertainment and night life. Perfect.
2. It is the city of festivals, so I still get to catch lots of concerts that Perth doesnt.
Ooh the many different festivals throughout the year is gorgeous.
3. Its just 10hrs drive/45mins flight away from Melbourne if I need to be around familiar faces.
That's the thing theres just waaayyy to many familiar faces in Melbourne, Sri Amanians especially.
4. From where I live, thankfully everything is within walking distance, and it takes almost
20 minutes to go everywhere.
5. It really is not a 'pekan cowboy okay mune" or just grass and cows and wineries.
Ive been to all the other states in Australia, except Canberra and I prefer Adelaide.
"better than perth too emir =p"

So, I am glad the whole "listen to your heart" thing worked well for me and lately, i've been having a strong feeling about this other thing, only thing is i'm not sure if it's one of those "heart warnings" or just me wanting to believe it is.
