I'm a landslide, don't you know?

Things are getting so exciting. If everything goes as planned I'm moving to London in less than a month (6th of September). Charlotte, a girl I met whilst partying in the Make Up Club in Ghent, will be joining me. I'm looking for a job, she will be studying English for a year before trying to get into fashion school. I'm going to Stockholm tomorrow, but very short after that we're both going to London to do some house hunting, as time is running out. It's weird - I've been thinking about moving to London for such a long time, but it always felt like something that was still ages away. And now it's finally happening.

I do think the timing is right, though. I've been saving up some money so I don't have to start stressing immediately if I don't find a job right away. I've met loads of lovely friends in London during the last three years, so I don't have to worry about feeling lonely. I've found a sweet flatmate (Charlotte). I've got a wonderful boyfriend in London - we've been together for 6 months now and I'm thrilled that we won't be living 200 miles apart anymore. I feel ready to do something different from what I've been doing so far. And I know things won't always be easy and at times I'll probably wish I'd never left, but I really, really want to do this. Now.

  1. Congratz girl on following your dream. I'm sure moving to London will change every aspect of your life, but you'll love it there. You should be proud of not choosing the easy path (I hope to be as brave as you in a couple of years and move to the US). The best of luck!
