24. march — after almost two wonderful weeks my vacation is coming to an end. i‘ll spend two more days visiting a friend and return to my home, although this place already kind of feels like home too. i‘m looking forward to returning in may, insh‘allah.

i’ll write up a re-introduction post this week, since i just deleted my old one due to being inaccurate after two and a half years. i’ll link the new one in my pinned post so it’s easy to find for anyone who may be interested.

december 20. — i packed up most of my childhood bedroom today. tomorrow i'm getting the keys to my first own place. i lived in this bedroom for a decade. it's so weird to think about, in a couple weeks i'll be falling asleep in my own apartment. i'm both excited and scared; excited to furnish my place and live on my own, scared it might get lonely. i can't even begin to explain the emotions i'm feeling right now. it's still a miracle for me that i'm at this place now. four years ago i required 24h care in a mental health facility, now i am moving out. i've come a long way and it's hard to see this most times but right now i just see it so clearly it's honestly incredible.

October 2nd / I have filled my queue again after being on a little bit of a hiatus recently. Also i just came up with a new queued catchphrase. Since I’m feeling pretty anxious today I’ll curl up on the couch now with a hot cocoa and a book; I just started reading Melmoth by Sarah Perry and (finally!) Skulduggery Pleasant Midnight by Derek Landy. I love the vibe in Melmoth and Skulduggery Pleasant is hilarious as always.

september 29th / life’s been busy! as of yesterday I am officially employed and enrolled in university. I can’t want for Thursday aka the start of my first semester studying architecture. it still seems majorly unreal that this is actually happening now. I’ll be an architect. I’ll actually be an architect.

I went to an lgbtq+ protest today and some people held very emotional speeches and talked about their experience with both homophobia and racism at the open mic. Some refugees stepped forward and called attention to the situation of (lgbt) refugees in refugee hostels waiting for permits to get into Europe while during COVID-19 being a refugee is even more dangerous because staying with eight people in a 16 square meters room comes with a huge risk of infection. I’m glad they called attention to this because this is unfortunately not being covered in the news and we need to know about this.
