It's the end of June, it's the end of a lot of things. This was my last full month in my flat, my home for the past decade. I can't believe how fast these last few weeks have flown by.
Change is a peculiar thing. For so long, I had lingered on the precipice, hesitant to move, always looking but never committing. Then, in a millisecond, the decision was made, as if by some unseen force, pulling me from indecision into action.
This month was primarily devoted to planning the move. My mind was constantly occupied with tasks to complete, details to organise, and a seemingly endless list of things to do. As a result, I found myself unable to focus on much else. My time was divided between work and planning the move, leaving little room for anything else.
Some other things:
- The heat is killing me. Not literally, but close enough.
- I read a lot this month—11 books in total. I revisited the original Hunger Games trilogy and finally got around to reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
- Other notable books of the month: I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue and The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer.
- While packing and sorting through my belongings, I watched a lot of shows. I made it through a couple of seasons of Criminal Minds and started watching The Strain.
- Totally forgot about my last surviving plant. It died too.
- Spent a lot of time researching furniture, wallpaper, and paint colours. Right now, I'm on the hunt for the perfect beige-y white shade for my bedroom.
- Finished June's daily drawings. This month was way more enjoyable than the last. I loved sitting down [almost] every night, taking a 30-minute break to draw something.
