I’m at work and we’ll see how much time I have to write. I’ve put dreamy music on. I feel a little headache since I have a cold and I am somehow always tense in my shoulders. They have been tense for a year now. Let’s see if I can figure out how to relax again. Would be good.

Luckily after tomorrow I’ll have a slow day. I only have to teach one person and I get to spend my time however I want to. I’ve got really long hours. I choose them and now I choose to complain about them, haha.

I am considering another education. I might want to learn how to help people not from the Netherlands with the language Dutch in front of a classroom. I am not sure if there are any jobs for this specifically in my city. My tinie tiny city of Zwolle.

I’ve just been to London last weekend. The pace is so fast and there are so many people. When I lived there during Covid, two years ago, 2022, it was much quieter. Now it is just crawling with ants. Finally, Hans, my boyfriend, and I decided to go and hang out in a park. We were extremely lucky with the weather. Lovely sunshine on our faces. We didn’t talk for a bit and I went inside to get him some coffee and a cake. He was totally knackered and so I tried to take care of him by letting him just sit down for a minute. London is lovely and London is crazy.

We enjoyed a play called Hades Town. It has won multiple prizes and after watching it I understood why. It is the best play I have seen so far. I thought it was quite touching. It was about love and since Hans and I and a friend of mine called Becky had lovely conversations about love.

About how to rediscover love, about loneliness, about being the interloper, about how to show love, about the difficulties and also about the successes. It was quite inspiring I must say. Now that I have found love, I wish others love. I wished that to others before but maybe now even more.

For now I wish myself some rest. I hope you are doing well wherever you are and until next time! X
