2022 Status Update
Hi there!
I just wanted to give a quick status update on how things are going!
First of all, omg what a year so far. I had to leave my temporary apartment by end of February, with no job and no plan where to move next. After a sudden incredible price increase in any short-term offering I ended up renting something for just two weeks to get some extra time to figure things out and turns out - I actually did figure something out!
So in the heart of my New Year’s Resolutions I thought maybe I should already celebrate a bit of my successes.
First of all, I found a lovely apartment, completely unfurnished - which is of course a great challenge, but let me tell you now that I have my own bed, couch, desk, fridge, … it feels so good.
Besides fending a long-term rental, I started working at a new place in June. 100% remote with a super international team. Things are still very exciting and scary, but I’m trying to hold up and keep progressing learning new things and so forth. This also means I made a big jump with lot’s of the bureaucracy, but there is still plenty to come - so wish me luck with that.
On the diving front, I got diving glasses - went diving, got caught by a RIP current and instantly lost my new glasses in the waves. But let me tell you, this was so scary - I was just thankful that I’ve managed getting out safely. Since then I got a new set and I’m occasionally going diving, it’s more a learning to hold my breath than nice snorkeling, the beach close by is more of a surfer place than somewhere you’d be diving…
I’m trying to get pierced, but somehow in my town there is only one person that pierces and I want to get tunnels and still didn’t work out. I’ll figure it out this year, I promise…
I feel like on a good track, but there is still plenty to do:
- learn Portuguese in a school 🤓 🧑🏫 🏫
- read one book in Portuguese 📖
- read five more books 📚
- finish my self-hosting setup 💾
- more intimacy 🌈
- one blog posting per week (huh!) ⌨️
- start psychotherapy 🧠
Lots of love
