We celebrated the first Thursday of this month by eating princess cakes at work!

I’ve also been trying to socialise myself, I really need some girlfriends in this big city. So I started going to a “sewing association”! Not sure if this is a thing outside of Scandinavia? But it’s basically a bunch of women (mostly) who gather and do crafts (knitting, punch needling, etc) together. My mormor (mom’s mom) used to attend these I remember, but they didn’t go to a coffee shop like I do but instead they held these “meetings” at their homes. It’s super cosy! And so, I’ve started with punch needling, because I’ve always been wanting to try it!

Socialising is a HUGE step for me. I’ve been suffering all winter, and I didn’t know how to do it. Because, I’m an introvert and I’ve experienced numerous times how I’ve been desperate to hang out with people but then those people turned out to be attention vampires and sucked me dry. They wanted to meet up too often, and since I’m an introvert I really needed my personal alone time… And so these relationships always ended in me ghosting them. It’s absolutely terrible, but what else am I supposed to do, even after explaining to them I need some space? It’s difficult! 😅
