I used to live on a very small island. Not the smallest by any means - about 10 square miles and 60,000 people. About the size of a small town, except when that small town is separated by an ocean from anywhere bigger it can feel very isolating. I've moved to the Mainland UK since then, and on top of having a wider group of friends out here, the freedom to be able to just jump on a train (rather than having to pay for a flight) any time I want to do something more exciting than go to a pub is such a breath of fresh air. Since moving here I've gotten to see some of my favourite artists (next week I get to see a really small band I thought I would NEVER get the chance to see!!!!) and it's just so nice to feel more free! I'm not very good at Having A Life, but I'm getting better 🥰

Really helped me see my hometown through fresh new eyes, and appreciate things about it I took for granted! It also made me feel like I could bring all of me that has developed since I left the city back into it instead of purely regressing into my teenage self🥳

it's so fun to book people from out of state and show them the good spots in your city for fun...... i love my new friends from up north and i got to take them sunbathing and swimming in a spring-fed river in early march <3
