trapped by choice! 2 months ago

I work at home, study at home… and some of my closest friends are kilometers away. I need to push myself out of my flat (which, btw, has no direct sunshine!).

When I moved to the “big city” I was able to go out and walk with no predetermined destination… Now I just can´t do it! I get out and I get anxious, I need people around me (so it´s not phobia)... Any ideas?

Thursday; Guitar and the rells round the corner... 4 months ago

I took my brother to school this morning, drove around as I was early for guitar and then went to my lesson at 9. It was v challenging. I went to my aunts, she lives round the corner from us. I had a chat and a cuppa tea! Lovely! It was good to chat to people other than the ones I live with. Although I do love chatting to them too, but you get it. It was good and I am pleased to say even though when I came home I had some cleaning to do, I felt good about it because I DID IT! I got out of the house, all by myself. (With the exception of my brother whom had to go to school anyway.)

This is something I really need to do, I sit in the house all day, for the biggest majority of the week and what’s worse is, I sit on the computer all day too. I really need to get out and become more active.

girls' night out 9 months ago

(the others will be here shortly)

It has been ages since I’ve been out properly (you know, dancing and some drinking), so this night will be awesome. ♥ A friend and friend’s friend are on their way here, and we’ll be heading out in a couple of hours. Can’t wait, I feel like dancing tonight. Hehe, I’m already a little tipsy, red wine goes to my head really fast. Oohh, how I’ve missed this feeling. ♥ Fun night ahead, me likes.

Behold, I have returned! (:D) Lappeenranta was nice, it was great to tune off for a couple of days and relax, I liked that. It’ll be weird to go back to work tomorrow, even though I’ve only been away fro three days it feels like forever. Call me weird or whatever you want, but I actually missed my colleagues and even the job itself a bit. o.o Not to an extent I couldn’t stop thinking about work but like… I’m eagerly waiting for tomorrow. :)

Nevertheless, it was so awesome to see my friend, her husband and my godson, he has grown up so much and he’s just so cute. ♥ Most of the time he was very cheerful despite the flu he had. I don’t like children that much and I don’t really know how to work with them, especially small toddlers because I’m afraid I might break them. :D But I think spending a couple of days with my godson made me a teensy bit more comfortable around him, at least. :)

I also got to see two of the most adorable cats and especially the younger one liked to sit or sleep on my lap, she was cuuute! If I could, I’d consider getting myself a cat but I think my allergies prohibit that. Ah well.

But now I think my batteries are recharged, it’s nice to be back home. :)

a ticket to there and back 11 months ago

I haven’t gotten ‘out of the house’ a lot since I moved to my own place but that’s okay, I haven’t even wanted to go anywhere, being home is wonderful. Just because it’s my own home. ♥ And besides, I’ve usually been rather tired after work so all I want to do is to get home and relax in silence and solitude.

This weekend I’m going to do something different, though. I’ll leave for Lappeenranta tomorrow to go see one of my oldest friend and my godson, and I’ll be spending the weekend with them. I’m actually eagerly waiting for this, it’ll do me good to get out of Helsinki for a couple of days, I know I’d go crazy if I had to spend the whole weekend at home (I’d be missing work and my colleagues! I’m that obsessed with my job :P). It’ll be nice to see my godson, too, I bet he has grown up a lot since the last time I saw him. My friend’s family, they’ve also moved to a new place, so I’m eager to see what kind of a home they have at the moment. :)

I doubt I’ll get online before Sunday, so try to bear with my silence. ;)

Not be sad and sleepy



Untitled 14 months ago

Being trapped within these walls drives me crazy. I’m just too lazy and too scared to go out there in the real world and socialize. I will try.
