saturday morning: snow softly falling, coffee steam, notes on northanger abbey scribbled on an old postcard

Not gonna lie, I never thought I’d miss uni and studying this much. I think I just miss feeling useful, learning, seeing friends every day, and having some kind of purpose and goals to achieve. Right now I’m just in a kind of limbo that I’m not really enjoying. Yes, being home is great but I just feel lost and in need of some guidance and help. Not gonna lie, I wish I could just hop on a plane and start a new life somewhere else, Mamma Mia style. Like nobody is willing to hire me and I certainly don’t have the income to become a freelancer just yet so that’s stressful. Anyway, I guess I’ll figure it out eventually, or not, who knows. In the meantime, you can find me reading, drawing, watching Netflix, sending out CVs, and having one mental breakdown a day. Hope you’re all well.
