I'm doing 30 things
I’m pleased to say I actually accomplished this at long last. Without trying, actually. It just sort of fell into place. And it was amazing. I can’t wait to be back in the same situation again someday very soon.

This goal was related to a lot of things, but right now I feel like I’ve definitely achieved it by ending a long-term relationship which was holding me back. I’m experiencing more freedom and the sheer excitement of suddenly just being one person again. And I’m flying to Paris is two days! Tee-hee! Things are looking up and I’ve got that grounded feeling which always comes with good decisions.
The passport is in the mail. The next time I enter the UK it will be in the EU Passports line! Hooray! At long last!
