As my partner and I moved into our new home, not only is my environment completely different from before, but also is this an opportunity for me to grow into the person I've always wanted to be. Which is my authentic, healthy, happy self.
On the 12th of April, my boyfriend and I moved from an apartment located in the city to a house that's more in the countryside. Since I have a strong yearning for inner peace, this may be the best thing that has ever happened to me.
My mental health has always been a struggle for me. Growing up, I often felt misunderstood, which has left me feeling insecure and anxious about a lot of things. Since I learned that this wasn't a normal way of being, I wanted nothing more than to heal my inner self and feel comfortable in my own skin. For this to happen, I knew that I needed to be in a place that made me feel completely safe.
So, my boyfriend and I moved into an apartment as fast as we could.
I really thought that this was going to be my way to happiness.
But sadly, I was wrong.
In some ways, my mental state even worsened.
The place was too small for the both of us, we had an annoying neighbor, and even though many people were living in that city, positivity wasn't really in the air. Eventually, it became very hard for me to feel at ease there.
Nonetheless, I still tried to find happiness in each day. As it became harder for me to find motivation to keep going, I longed to live in a house with my significant other, where we would have a garden and a lot of nature surrounding us. I couldn't wait for us to build our life together. And I don't know how, but somehow we made this dream come true. I am so lucky that my boyfriend has the same vision about his future as I do, and that we had the opportunity to move into a house only one year after we moved into our apartment.
Now that we live here, it feels as though it's always been this way.
So from the outside, it may look as if we just found ourselves a new home. But for me, it is so much more. I have found safety and peace unlike I've ever known. Which means that I can finally heal and open myself up to the journey that is my life.
