If you have to sacrifice your voice ‘to keep the peace’ it’s no longer peaceful : You’re internalizing the chaos instead

May is…

the scent of cleaning products, fresh air coming in from an open window, waking up in a sunlit room, baking cute pastries, green meadows and wild flowers, morning runs, diary writing on a balcony, iced coffee, cream and vanilla coloured everything, freckles, productivity, peace and patience, falling in love again

never feeling angry, but often feeling sad or depressed

overuse of sarcasm or cynicism

being uncomfortable with conflict or confrontation

feeling the need to control a lot of things

experiencing chronic muscle tension or headaches

having difficulty setting boundaries, expressing needs or saying no

shutting down, avoiding people or isolating yourself when upset

high levels of chronic stress or anxiety

feeling guilty, ashamed or bad when you are angry

next week is back to historical literature studies and I want to do a studyspo board for every period we work with

first one is

Victorian (1830-1901)

frilly white dresses and hats, casually reading even when standing up, studying late at university, the light from the classrooms yellow in the evening, dark libraries and studies, fresh ink, perfect cursive notes, bedside table overwhelmed with books and candles, polite conversations with teachers

(sorry history people if I got something very wrong, it’s likely)

famous works:

jane eyre, wutherhing heights, great expectations, dracula, the picture of dorian grey, sherlock holmes

moving abroad diaries part 1

I'm moving to England by myself in two months. Two months - that's nothing. There'll be regular updates like this because I need to soothe my anxious mind and writing/planning things out usually helps a little

First, a short list of things I need to check/plan for/stay on top of:

visa application

living accommodation (ask about date so I know for when to book my flight)

flight booking

study info, (like schedule, course literature etc)

plan for what to pack, (fall/winter wardrobe)

sort out the renting-situation for my current apartment

start up a bank account in the UK (upon arriving)

get all my insurances

start up a phone subscription (upon arriving)

clean out the apartment I’m renting to a lovely couple
