Now

"Now" pages are somewhere between Twitter feeds and "About" pages. It's like sharing what you would tell a friend you haven't seen in a long time.

October

October marked two years since I moved to Greece. There were both highs and lows, but mostly highs. I've never felt so much purpose in my life or in what I'm doing. I also had the chance to see my mother. She spent a couple of weeks with me, and we could finally discuss everything in person. Unfortunately, my father wasn't able to join us this year, but hopefully I'll see them both again next year. After six months of studying, I finally got my driving license! I'm not sure when I'll take my first trip, but hopefully I won't forget all the skills I learned.

August

After two months of studying driving theory, I finally started taking lessons. The idea of driving has always made me anxious — and still does — but after a few lessons, I'm already feeling more comfortable. It even seems like I might soon be ready to embark on my first adventure!

May

I began learning driving theory. After years of hesitation, I feel that I'm finally ready to become more mobile and less reliant on buses. Depending on public transportation has been a pretty exhausting experience.

January

I resumed working on my website. I decided to rewrite everything from scratch and implement a new design. It took me quite a while to come up with something, but at least the process has started. I'm also continuing my weekly calisthenics training that I began at the end of November. My body hurts almost constantly, but I enjoy the workouts.

I've been reading Haruki Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto. Last year, I started re-reading everything I could get my hands on, and I plan to continue doing that this year.
