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

morning routine Summer 2024

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

you’ve got these fake rules in your head

you shame yourself, you block emotions, push them down

break these mental chains

(April’s been what the cards predicted for me: challenging in terms of anxious thoughts and worries but I can see the sun through the foliage, I know it’s only easier from here)

sunny breakfasts with the newspaper, bare legged bike rides, picnics, white linen and cotton

saw swan lake at the ballet last night, was so gutted by the end of it 

DAMN it why didn’t my parents force me into ballet when I was three years old?????
