HAPPY SUNDAY!

I have officially been in Seattle for a week now.

And my mom left this week. So I am living by myself. Living in a big world.

I mean I go to uni but I live with my roomies, who are some of my closest friends. So it doesn’t really feel like I am living “on my own”.

Compared to Seattle, I am like living on my own. My roommate is really nice though and we get along really well so that definitely makes it a lot more easier of a transition.

I feel like a lot around me is cloudy. I didn’t really get a break between the end of second year and jumping into this internship, which I absolutely love. I just love learning. And being immersed in something new.

But yeah, I didn’t really get a break. I came home, with a paper to write and another exam to do. I had been packing last minute because I was focused on my other exam. And then we were on the road. And that was that. We went through three time changes, and although each time was only an hour, it took me the first couple after getting to SEATTLE to finally get my internal clock used to it. I wrote my final exam on the road. I unpacked fully the day I moved. It was craziness. But I am SO happy to be here. I love Seattle. It’s just so pretty.

But now I am truly on my own. With my car at least, so I can get around. But Seattle is a BIG place; I learned that yesterday. I actually took myself out on a cutie little self-care date. I went to Barnes & Noble, which was so nice because I just love a good bookstore. But I sat in traffic, in the foggy rain. Not that I don’t love a good rainy day, it was just a weird fogginess to it. Anyway, I walked around that store for like an hour. I wanted every book I picked up. But I had to withhold from buying, for I would actually spend it later. I narrowed it down to two books from probably 20. One is about anxiety, which I will be sure to fill you all in on.

I left and drove downtown (the Barnes and Noble was more outside the city centre) to my new favourite coffee shop. Anchorhead Coffee; it’s actually a chain but it is AMAZING. So I sat there and did some work for a while. And then I went SHOPPING. Just to get a few things. I was kinda anxious to shop by myself, but it was actually pretty nice. I tried to keep to myself cause I mean, I am also walking downtown by myself, but I felt like a girlboss doing it.

Then I came home…

I guess I am trying to just get used to the whole on my own thing.

Figuring out my life, yet again.

But we’re slowly getting somewhere, making a little bit of progress.

That’s really all I have right now. More to come next week. Maybe a little guide if I am more comfortable finding my way around.

I hope you all are doing well

STAY KIND:)

with love
