Moving on, and still trying to move out of the country
I haven’t been here in a while, for good reason. But I want to start showing up again.
Ari and I separated at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. Three years on, we’re still friends and he actually manifested a life in Sweden by moving there in August of 2022 for a master’s program in Lund. I’m still trying to get there and February 2024 is the goal.
Now comes the hard stuff: applying for a visa for my partner— Jacob— who isn’t Swedish, planning a move with an anxious dog, and generally letting go of all possessions and connections we’ve made here to start over.
Here we go.
