A New Home and Fresh Beginnings | February Diary

Hello from a new home🏡

Change can be scary but sometimes it’s necessary. When you’re in a transition phase of life and in your mid 20’s, life can be a clusterfuck. It is that time when you somehow halfway finding yourself but also confused what to do next. I am sure that even if you’re so goal oriented and high achiever, there were moments in life where you just don’t have a clue what to do next.

For me, change is always scary. I get way too comfortable with certain things that even if it’s draining my energy, wallet and such, I wouldn’t really care unless there are major life events. Life is a series of choices that we make and sometimes we are only dealt with bad cards. Often during those situation, it’s hard to see which one has lesser negative outcome. I am at that phase of life where I only dealt with bad cards and having to pick the lesser evil.

From the past couple of weeks, I slowly moved into a new home. My parents own two properties and one is inhabited by my grandma and the other is my parents. Both are located in different neighborhood but what matters is living with someone who I feel comfortable with. Before this, I was mostly staying with my grandma, she’s old enough to be closed minded. So, it was always often bickering that drains my energy. My life was always concentrated on the 2nd floor but everything becomes quite a chore.

The property that my parents lived in is quite nice too, their life is concentrated on the first floor. The second and the third floor are mostly vacant. All I had to do is clean out the guest bedroom and I was all set. So, I decided to finally moved in with them because my mom is there. Living with them definitely has a catch. My dad adoptive dad was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer and not necessary easy person to live with. But he’s not necessarily bothering me much. So, it’s why I chose to live with them rather than living with my grandma full time.

New life chapter

I was wondering where I would be this year but this is it, I am making a fresh life in a new place with a newer challenges. The only good thing is that everything is a lot closer such as Bali and going overseas is a lot easier from this part of province. I am also taking a barista certification in the coming months which is something I am really stoked about more than anything.

My daily routine obviously changes a little. These days I get to run and walk just around the neighborhood without having to leave the area. I started gardening with my mom too and we’re living the life just like the videos we’re used to watch. I’ll make a few records once I am a lot settled in and get a tripod. The third floor has an awesome view for bird watching and just a lot of greenery. It’s really refreshing more than the other house, so I plan on making some videos later on.

Adjusting to new surrounding.

Another challenging part is also adjusting to the new environment. My room is needed a little fix here and there but since I live quite minimal, I don’t really need much to survive day to day. So, I also keep things very minimal inside the house especially my room. But obviously, I haven’t really cleaned them yet. It’s going to take a while for everything to look quite proper and liveable as a home.

Maybe after all, moving in with them was for the best this year but here’s to settling in to the new house for the next couple of years.
