Getting ready for the biggest change you’ve ever experienced is very hard. I thought that going to university, or moving cities for work would be tough, but this has been a few of the most challenging weeks of my life, and I am so lucky that everything has worked out as well as it has.
I’ve spent an entire afternoon searching for a backpack, gone back to multiple stores to return stuff that no longer fits my plan, organized a going away party, moved everything out of my apartment and into my mom’s basement hundreds of km’s away, received a dozen vaccinations, caught several concerts, got a root canal, and linked up with many wonderful friends. And I did it all in cold November, amidst quitting my job and dealing with all the stress that gave me. It’s been a week since my last day and I still impulsively look for the Outlook app on my phone.
My whole body feels worn down, to the point of cancelling on friends last night so I could rest (and I then got very distracted by rebuilding this website). Maybe it’s because I’ve spent a month trying to see everyone, leading to a lot of late nights with drinks…
