Hey there! Kammy world, love it…

Very very happy to hear you have found a flat you love and are excited about moving into, that’s awesome.  I totally get the ironic humour of the situation – it took the classic you pulling away again to make him step up and come forwards.   Quel surprise eh.  But hey, everything in life is about taking worthwhile risks – and this is a pretty good one to take in my view.  You guys need to try living together, like you say, away from his family & their influence on him. It will either work or it won’t and you know you will be ok either way.  But having the security of a home whilst you deal with your family leaving is huge, I’m really pleased you will be settled in time and can take one worry off the shoulders.  I think I said before but for me, it was always the pre-decision time that’s most stressful – once the decision is made and I’m committed, it’s just dealing with the good/bad as it comes.

Funny you are also wondering about therapy like Shelby.  If you get the right person, they clearly can help see things differently and provide a safe space to talk through things you don’t want to or can’t share with people close to you. But I do think it’s often forgotten or not talked about that for growth to happen it takes action as well as learning.

Yeah – my crazy world eh!  Although I know I have worked my proverbial off to get here, I do pinch myself most days as to how lucky I am and remind myself to make the most of it and not worry about all the myriad of things that could ruin it. Doubtlessly there will be days ahead with cr@p to deal with but I’ll deal with those when/if they arrive and not before.  You will laugh but I have to think of these trips as ‘travel’ not ‘holidays’ since it’s more like living our normal lives but just exploring them in a different country for a while – otherwise I’d be hugely fat and near alcoholic pretty quickly!

It was defn a shock both culture and weather-wise coming back to the UK. Easter was a lovely time but yeah, very glad to be leaving again on Sunday for Granada. I just like being free, being outside in the warm and exploring, it’s not easy for me being inside too long or doing things that clearly have no value – a big part of why I had to dream up and put into action this plan of how to leave office life.

Good to have you back, missed you too – look forwards to our next installment of Kammy-World!
