The first few months of 2019 have been especially stressful and challenging for me. As I mentioned in my previous post, university gave me one of the worst anxiety crisis I have ever had, leaving me exhausted, scared and disappointed. During these weeks, I have been trying really hard to get back up on my feet, relax and make peace with myself. It’s surely not easy, but the only thing I can do is do my best and try to be positive. I believe things will work out in the end.
But what have I been up to these days?
I am writing this very short, very simple post to summarise what has been going on lately and what I’ve been doing to try find a balance again. I am planning to start updating my blog regularly again and I have a lot of ideas in mind, so please look forward to it! 🙂
1. I turned 25! My birthday was last Friday (1st March) and I turned 25 years old. It’s crazy to think I am now half fifty… a quarter of century old… while I still look like a baby! I have never particularly liked celebrating my birthday, so I didn’t do much besides going out for breakfast with my mom and preparing my favourite meal for lunch.
2. I visited my family back in my hometown for the first time in 7 months. My grandma wanted to see me to personally wish me a happy birthday so I spent this past weekend in my hometown. It was nice, but also quite tiring and I was sick with the flu the whole time. I am really happy I went, but coming home to my cats was also really great :’)
3. I tried to relax and rest as much as possible. I really needed a break from everything. I am not a big sleeper, but I have often slept for more than 10 hours straight in the past few weeks, which is absolutely crazy for me. I have tried to stay away from social media, silenced a lot of whatsapp chats (especially anything revolving around university) and spent time outside walking and enjoying the nature.
4. I have been reading. A LOT. Books have always been one of my biggest pleasures, but these days especially they give me so much joy and let me escape this stressful reality.
5. I have tried to be a responsible adult, and even booked an appointment to get my wisdom tooth removed (will I be able to do it for real? Err… stay tuned)
I had a lot of hopes for 2019, even more considering how horrible last year was, but life is unpredictable and so far things haven’t gone how I wanted them to. Still, I want to do my best to make sure the upcoming months will be full of good things, of courage and achievements.
Omg it seems like we are gonna get our wisdom teeth out around the same time! Going back home to get a consultation first. I sure hope its a breeze but im gonna get 4 out so maybe that will take an hour 😶 happy late bday!!!
