Better Than Ever !

Hello my loves,

I have drafted this cute lil post like three or four times now. Its quite annoying how I legitimately have so much to say but do not know how to say it. I have been in Amsterdam for almost six months now. How is that even possible? I have really made my room my home and im really in love with it. Its for sure my safe place… I have found my go to cafe, thrift store, market, & bar (even though I havent been more than twice lol.)

Like I said, I’ve gotten my room to my liking, maybe i’ll add a couple more plants at somepoint but for right now im loving it. But the only way I remotely got close to this point was from my sweet mama! She was my savior when she helped me move out here. I could have not done anything I wanted if she wasn’t here to help… I miss her xxx

Now, getting into the school thing and routine was a struggle for real. I was coming off a high of moving here and intree week for first year students – met lots of amazing people. So then being thrown into school, which is more of a self study type vibe then you have a class time to discuss the things you learned during self study… I like it but just have to switch my brain on in a different way that I have never done before. It also is so hard getting back into school after being out of school for almost three years lol.

Something I’m very, very happy about is my bike… Seriously big thanks to my whole family with their contribuions with my bike, travels, everyday life. Its been a complete dream of dreams. I keep just looking out of my big windows in my room and stopping myself like what ???? I am such a main character right now.

Last big news to catch everyone up until my next post is that I am back woking one to two days for the family I used to AuPair for. It randomly fell into my lap and I could not say no… Its the biggest blessing actually because I don’t have to worry about finding a day to day job here (its hard on a student visa for non EU citizens.) This has also made my disire to learn Dutch even more, as the youngest, Nena (4), does not know english well and she is such a talker so I want to really understand what she is saying.

So cheers to new adventures and getting out of your comfort zone. Get up, find a random class to take or make some art.

I love everyone and thank you all for your help and support for me to be living my best life.
