Notes from the last few days
Sunday, June 10th, 2018 13:33I've fallen out of the habit of DW'ing again, I see. Maybe I can try to get started on fixing such problems by mentioning a few things that have happened lately? Let's see:
✭ I talked to this cousin a few more times since he was here. Yesterday he even called and wanted to visit, but right then I wasn't at home. I'm a little sad about that, but at least it seems possible to keep contact now. That's a good thing, I think.
✭ My dream of moving to my own flat sort of became more... if not realistic for the moment, then at least more possible for the future. I had a nice talk to my mom about it, and she understands and agrees. If I'll be able to move, my dream is to find a nice flat in Vennesla - about 20km from where I live now. Even though it's a smaller place than my home town, it's nicer because the town center is more compact, people are generally more open than here, and it's feels like a safer place to live. (To be honest, I don't like my home town as much as before anymore - it has grown and changed, the city centre is dying because shops and cafés are moving out of it and into a large commercial zone out of town, and I don't always feel safe and comfortable in town by myself anymore (not even in the daytime)).
There is of course no way I can move away now or soon, because this is is a big project and I need to figure out various things (also about mortgage rules etc), plus I want to find the perfect place where I'll be happy, and not do anything too soon... but at least I know what I want now, and I know that I have my mom's support about it, which is very important.
✭ As for something else, I'm doing my first fic exchange that runs on AO3. I wanted to do
nonconathon already last year, but I got shy and never dared to sign up. This year I've signed up, and I have about half a fic written so far. I only need another couple of scenes to finish it, but to do that I also need some distraction-free writing time... that won't happen until after next week. I hope I can finish it without getting stressed about it, though, because I'm really liking the story and the characters so far. (And yes, it's an original story, so it'll be my first time actually posting original work... maybe I'm nervous about that, but okay, let's see how it goes!)
