The hardest thing about moving to a new country is being away from the people closest to you. To some of you it might be parents, sisters or brothers, but to me that are my friends. The ones that know pretty much everything about me and we'd always be there for each other. You know those days when you don't have will to do anything on your own but if you had that one person with you you'd go here and there, take them to all the places you like, share your previous explorations and explore new places. It's nice to have some alone time, but everything's better in two.

I was always a loner. Preferred spending time in my bedroom, laying on bed, listening to music or reading books rather than going out with a group of people and just sit there cos I'd never have anything to say. I'm not sure at what point that changed. When did I become the person that needs plus one. Maybe after months spent exploring alone, being alone, having 24 hours of the day just for myself. I needed my best friends here. Every other  time we'd talk to each other I'd probably end up in tears. Thinking about hugging them, holding their hand and doing the things we would do back home. An important piece of my life was missing and so was one from their.

In May, after seven months spent apart, my best friend came to visit me. It was one of the happiest days so far. I couldn't hold back the tears at the airport when I hugged him.

Botanical gardens are such a peaceful spot to spend warm days in, walking through shades of different trees to get away from the burning sun, seeing all those colorful flowers and enjoying the slow paced rhythm it has in the middle of a city who's always rushing.
Being surrounded by nature will always be soothing to me. Living in a city is much more interesting at this point of life. There's always something going on, you always have a place to go to. But there are also spots to get away from it all, like this one. Where you can forget about the daily tasks, take a deep breath and enjoy the nature around you, even if for just half an hour.

This moment and shots taken in it reminded me of some Icelandic crime/mystery tv series. So keep that in mind while scrolling down haha. 

Last week was the first spring week. I though it would make me happy and all energetic but somehow I ended up feeling down again, unmotivated and uninspired.

When you're a melancholic bad weather is always around the corner. Try to use it. Make something out of it.

 I want to be in charge of my emotions so one afternoon I dressed up and went to the forest to take some photos cos I haven't in quite a while and it usually makes me feel better, or at least a bit productive. This is the result of it. There are very few photos I like from that day, but I still wanted to share them with you.
