we moved!

we moved to sweden, so the last few days have been quite hectic. our wifi turned off on the last day of april, and for some reason my cell service was downright atrocious, so for the remaining days before we moved, i was all but off-the-grid, save for the times i mooched off of my fiancĂ©'s hotspot. 

so now it's been several days since i've written a blogpost, and i feel some friction getting back into it. what do i even write about? is it even worth doing? why not keep the break going? 

but i want to do it. even when i'm fuzzy on the reasons why. so i'm making this post to break the spell and get myself back in the groove. 

it's funny, i didn't realize until writing this post that it's potentially been a long time since i've written any meta-post—a post about blogposting. which i assume means i've been in an adequately-oiled groove of writing about things other than writing. that's great news! 

i don't tend to notice when something that used to be hard has become easier. my fiancĂ© is great at pointing it out for me. it's nice to recognize when i've made progress, rather than just continuing to be hard on myself regardless of where i'm actually at in the process. 

i'm excited to live in sweden. i think i will adjust much faster than i did when first moving to germany a little over a year ago, but i expect i will still have a clear adjustment period. i'm glad we've spent so much time here before moving here permanently; it doesn't feel like an entirely new and alien place. 

our (nearly) empty old place in berlin. we got to leave some stuff since our friends (hopefully) will be replacing us as tenants!
