I'M SORRY...

So here I am, in my flat...In Stockholm, Sweden. I did it! Can you believe after 9 years in London I moved back to my hometown and I can tell you it went really quick. I resigned, I packed my bags and I just left. I left a life I built for 9 years, from my 20s to my 30s. One of the most important eras in your life where you also develop the most as a person, mentally and spiritually. I left the best years in my life behind. Or... not behind, more like memories that I will cherish forever. Sometimes I think about it and smile and sometimes I think about it and miss it dearly.
Moving countries can be hard and difficult and also cost you a bit of money, especially if you don't know when you will have a job next. Without any savings I decided to leave, call me stupid but I did what my heart told me...
After 1 1/2 week I actually manage to get a job believe it or not. A massive relief! I'm now working as a sales assistant/visual merchandiser in central Stockholm. At least now I have an income and workmates I like, good vibes only! And that is so important to me. As my brother said, everything will be ok in the end and he was right. Now I just have to sort out every other little thing and then hopefully everything will work itself out. And for this reason I want to apologise, apologise for being absent.
I'm also trying to find a focus in what I do. It is very hard since I want to do so much but I cant do everything all at once. How can you be here but at the same time you are somewhere else...? Apologise for my absent but my head exploding with new things, new adventures and new emotions...
Thank you for still supporting even though my absent. I appreciate your presence from the bottom of my heart and soon I will be back to normal...
