I think I always imagined myself in my early 20s, living alone in a big city and coming home after work to my own little peace. given how things are going rn, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford to live alone and that makes me sad.

currently live a car ride away from ~everything which is making me feel very sad and isolated. the public transit situation is pretty rough too. i’m excited to be where i can just walk to fun and new and interesting places.
but first, i have to figure how one locates and secures an apartment on their own...

It's so crazy of me to even consider this as I haven't worked a single paying job in a year. I had a breakdown of sorts which led to me quitting school and stopping work. My parents were super supportive but perhaps not anymore. I want to move out now and have my own space. I don't want to wait for my life to "get in line" for me to try stuff and do things. Like moving out! But everything is so expensive in Addis and I would need at least about 5 months worth of monthly salaries to even consider moving out.

this March i moved out from my parents' to my own appartment, at first it was scary bc i didn't think I would be able to afford living by myself and keep my two cats, sometimes we're tight on money but so far it's been the best year I can think of, I've learned a lot from living on my own and I was able to do lots of things that I couldn't if I had stayed with my parents, like focusing on my own and on my projects and travelling with friends I'm really looking forward to next year <33

Sounds bizarre, but as an anxious, ambitious, type A girlie, there’s nothing that I want more than to be able to shut my brain off and have someone ‘provide’ for me (not financially, but like, metaphorically). Able to fix my computer problem? Hot. Can build me a shelf? Hot. Just generally knows how to navigate the world? Very hot. Competence is underrated.

Rewatched this on Valentine’s Day when I was feeling down and it made me giggle for the first time in weeks.
this movie is inexplicably human and to an extent everything we are told we are not supposed to do — waste away a day and fall in love with a stranger. In the end, the movie is about giving in — to ourselves, to our deepest desires no matter how impractical.
