New residence and other business

I´ve been unbelievably busy this month and I don´t like that. Almost whole January has gone in a snap of fingers. I moved house and I´m hating this new one because I live with a total stranger who doesn´t even want to get to know me. For me it´s a nightmare. I want my home to be a safe place, not a battlefield of unseen frowns. Also, her room smells like mouth wash and something rotten.

Well, maybe I´m exaggerating. However, I can´t help comparing this with my previous homes. In the last one I lived for a whole year and it was my safe haven, full of light and peace. The one before that was a "cell apartment" just like this but oh how different... I had the best imaginable flatmate and it was a very friendly and relaxed place to live in.

I´ve probably said before how important for me it is to have a good home. Because when you´re out in the world for the whole day, making efforts, encountering people and new situations, following norms and rules of other places... you need a place you can rule and you can wind down at the end of the day without any masks. It´s not easy when you don´t even know who you´re living with and you have to wait your turn to cook meals and take showers.

To other matters. I´ve quit my job and therefore going to spend more time doing fun stuff and even traveling to certain places in Finland. So if you want a fun weekend guest who cooks vegetarian food for free and is up for new adventures, give me a shout...;)

I figured I can´t keep working in a place that I don´t see much value in. Sure, a gas station café can be an important meeting point for some but there´s nothing in it for me... Another good reason to quit was that I don´t want to work nights anymore, it´s not good for my dosha... 

I´m been busy also because I´m doing my best to write my Bachelor´s thesis. It´s going well, though, but I want to make a good one too so I´m making an extra effort. On top of that I have million other courses that require my full attention... Thank god I go to yoga every Thursday, it puts my mind at peace.

To finish this illogical post I bid farewell to my last home. You made me feel I belong somewhere.

Good bye the best kitchen I ever had. I will miss you.
